Zainab Ado Bayero, daughter of the late Emir of Kano, has appealed for additional financial aid, revealing that the assistance provided by Governor Abba Yusuf was insufficient. Struggling with housing issues in Lagos, Zainab seeks further support to secure a stable home for her family after years of hardship.
Zainab Ado Bayero, daughter of the late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, has publicly appealed for additional financial support, citing ongoing hardships faced by her family. Despite assistance from Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, which prevented their eviction from an apartment in Lagos, Zainab revealed that the funds provided were insufficient to cover their living expenses.
In a recent interview, Zainab detailed the struggles she, her mother, and her brother have endured since the death of her father. She acknowledged the governor's earlier intervention, which helped settle outstanding hotel bills, but emphasized that they remain in a precarious situation. According to Zainab, the family needs a permanent home in Lagos to regain stability, but the funds received so far are not enough to secure a suitable residence.
Zainab expressed her desire for a house in Lagos, rather than Kano, to ensure her family’s safety and freedom. She highlighted the challenges of living in a polygamous family, which has left her and her immediate family without a share of her father’s estate. As a result, they have been forced to move from hotel to hotel, struggling to make ends meet.
The situation has sparked public sympathy and concern, with many calling for further support from both the government and well-meaning Nigerians to help the Bayero family overcome their financial difficulties.
