Kano’s Royal Rift: Emirs Lead Eid Prayers Amidst Ban Dispute
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The ongoing power struggle over the Emirship of Kano took a dramatic turn during the Eid el-Kabir celebrations. Both the reinstated Emir Muhammad Sanusi II and the deposed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero led prayers at separate locations on Sunday, highlighting the deepening divisions in the state.

Why It Matters

Emir Muhammad Sanusi II, accompanied by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, led prayers inside the Kofar Mata Juma’at Mosque, taking shelter from the rain. In a parallel display of religious leadership, Emir Aminu Ado Bayero prayed at the Nassarawa Mini Palace Mosque.

But the drama didn’t end there. Defying a ban issued by the Kano State Police Command, Emir Sanusi II proceeded to the Gidan Shettima Palace at Kofar Kwaru and conducted a mini durbar. This move has raised eyebrows and further fueled the already heated atmosphere in Kano’s political landscape.

Governor Yusuf, after participating in the prayers led by Emir Sanusi II, called for peace and calm among Kano residents, urging them to continue their daily activities without disruption. His plea comes amid a backdrop of escalating tension, as the “Game of Thrones” in Kano becomes increasingly intense.

What They Are Saying

The governor added fuel to the fire by claiming he was not consulted by the police before they decided to ban the durbar festivities, a cultural highlight in the state. Meanwhile, the police maintain that the ban was necessary to ensure peace and security.

Amidst all this, former commissioner Ahmad Yakasai, who prayed with Emir Bayero, expressed his gratitude for the relative peace in the state, despite the ongoing struggle for the throne. However, with both emirs making bold public appearances and defying each other, the power tussle in Kano shows no signs of abating.

Bottom Line

The Kano Emirship saga, now more than ever, is a spectacle of political maneuvering, cultural defiance, and religious pageantry, gripping the attention of all Kano residents and beyond.
