Recently dethroned Emir Aminu Ado Bayero defiantly returned to Kano amid tensions over Governor Yusuf reinstating predecessor Sanusi, greeted by cheering supporters.
In a tumultuous turn of events, Aminu Ado Bayero, the 15th Emir of Kano, has returned to the ancient city. Bayero's arrival follows his recent dethronement on Thursday after the repeal of a 2019 emirate law.
This legislative move paved the way for the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi as Emir by Governor Abba Yusuf on Friday. Bayero, who had been in Ogun State amidst the unfolding drama, landed at the Aminu Kano International Airport around 4:30 am to a jubilant reception from supporters.
Chants from the Holy Quran reverberated as his convoy made its way through the city's streets, reportedly heading towards the palace. Meanwhile, breaking news emerges that Bayero has arrived at Nasarawa (Second Emirate Palace) of Kano State, adding another layer of intrigue to the ongoing power struggle in the region.
