Emir of Kano Condemns Destruction of Governor Yusuf’s Banners, Urges Supporters to Shun Partisan Politics

The Emir of Kano, His Highness Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, has expressed displeasure over the destruction of banners bearing the images of Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf.

The Emir’s Chief Councillor and Sarkin Dawaki Babba, Alhaji Aminu Babba Dan’agundi, disclosed this while addressing journalists, stating that the Emir had directed that the damaged banners be repaired.

According to him, the Emir emphasised that the traditional institution must remain above partisan politics, stressing that traditional rulers are expected to serve as fathers to all members of the community.

«“We are fathers of the people, not politicians,” the Emir was quoted as saying.»

The Sarkin Dawaki Babba consequently appealed to the Emir’s supporters and well-wishers to refrain from introducing partisan political activities into the affairs of the traditional institution.

He also conveyed the Emir’s appreciation to the thousands of supporters including men, women, youths and elders who demonstrated their loyalty by complying with the government’s directive and accompanying the Emir on foot to his residence at the Nassarawa Palace despite heavy rainfall and strong winds.

The Emir further urged the people of Kano State and Nigeria to continue praying for peace, stability and progress, as well as abundant blessings and prosperity for the people.

He reiterated the importance of maintaining peace and unity while respecting the role of the traditional institution in promoting harmony within society.
