There is a new twist to the Kano Emirate tussle involving the dethroned Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero and the reinstated Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II

At an event in Abuja, NSA Nuhu Ribadu stirred a fresh controversy as he acknowledged Bayero as Kano Emir during his greeting or presentation This happened after Ribadu earlier denied an allegation that he helped Bayero return to Kano state amid Kano Emirate battle

The National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadau, on Thursday, October 3, addressed Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero as the Emir of Kano.

Both Bayero and Muhammadu Sanusi II are laying claim to the revered stool of the Emir of Kano.

However at the 1st Annual International Lecture organised by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) with the theme, “Insecurity in the Sahel (2008-2024)” in Abuja on Thursday, Ribadu addressed Bayero as the Emir of Kano.

Daily Trust reported that while recognizing dignitaries at the event, Ribadu had said, “Of course the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero.”

His comment elicited a thunderous applause in the hall.

A social media user and supporter of the Emir, Rabiu Uba Danzainab posted the 33 seconds video on his X page (rabiuuba4) with the caption, “Ribadu addressed our Emir as the Legitimate Emir of Kano.”

But another user, Ahmed Idris, said: “APC Emir. He better starts a new jihad.”
