Ribadu creates stir by calling Ado Bayero Emir of Kano at Abuja event
On Thursday, the National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, referred to Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero as the Emir of Kano.
Both Bayero and Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi are currently contesting for the prestigious title of Emir.
In March 2020, former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje dethroned Sanusi and appointed Bayero as Emir. Four years later, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf dismissed Bayero and reinstated Sanusi.
Bayero, who was out of state when the announcement was made, returned to Kano and moved into the mini palace at Nasarawa, where he has been holding court.
In response to Bayero’s actions, Yusuf ordered his immediate arrest. However, instead of complying, security was heightened at the mini palace, leading to speculation that Bayero had federal support.
Aminu Gwarzo, the Deputy Governor of Kano, claimed that Ribadu had facilitated Bayero’s return by providing him with two private jets.
Ribadu, however, denied the allegation and threatened to sue Gwarzo.
