Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, the 15th Emir of Kano, has urged residents to remain calm and respect the rule of law amidst the ongoing dispute over the Kano emirate.
Emir Bayero asked the people of Kano to stay composed and follow the law as the situation became more complicated. He emphasized the importance of justice and legal adherence, stating that no one is above the law and that justice will ultimately prevail.
Highlighting Kano’s influence on Nigeria, the Emir pointed out that peace and responsible leadership in the state are crucial. In his address, Emir Bayero said:
“I call on the people to remain law-abiding while awaiting the outcome of the legal process in this tussle. We call on the authorities to do justice in this matter.
“Kano is a very influential state in Nigeria. Whatever affects Kano affects Nigeria. May peace reign in Kano. We pray for Allah to bless Kano with responsible and just leaders. Justice is the way to go on every issue.
“There will be justice. Nobody is above the law. We will accept whatever the law says. I appreciate all the people who have shown concern.
“As I said, justice will take its course. We will keep on praying for peace in Kano State. May Allah the Almighty protect us.”
This call for calm follows a Federal High Court order that prevents the Kano State Government from reinstating Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II.
