Naija News reports that Ado Bayero, who was recently dethroned by the incumbent government in the state, had extended invitations to all local district chiefs and traditional authority figures to begin preparations for the Sallah celebrations.
Amid the ongoing legal battle over the Kano Emirship tussle, Ado Bayero wrote to the top security head in Kano, seeking to lead Muslims in the forthcoming festival.
The request read, “I’m directed by His Highness, The Emir of Kano, Alh Aminu Ado Bayero CFR, CNOL, JP; based on case number FHC/KN/CS/182/2004 in which the court ordered that Status Quo be maintained, I hereby write to convey his appreciation and sincere gratitude on your contributions and facilitation of peace and stability in Kano State during the period of Emirate Crisis.

“In light of the importance of maintaining peace, order, and security during these celebrations, we kindly request the support and assistance of your esteem agency towards the successful accomplishment of the events.”
