Ganduje presents staff of office to Sanusi’s replacement Emir Ado Bayero

Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje on Saturday presented the staff of office to the 15th emir of Kano Aminu Ado-Bayero.

Ado-Bayero, who is from the Fulani ruling clan, ascended the throne on March 9, 2020, following the deposition of Muhammad Sanusi II by Mr Ganduje.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo attended the coronation with some APC governors.

Speaking after presenting the staff of office, Ganduje urged the emir to emulate his father by promoting peace and unity among his people.

The governor also advised the emir to distance himself from anything that could tarnish the image of the traditional institution.

In his remarks, Ado-Bayero urged the people of Kano to respect constituted authorities and other leaders in the society.

The emir promised to be fair and just to everyone in his domain irrespective of their status in the society.

He also advised political leaders to continue to fear God in all their dealings, saying that they would give account of their stewardship in the afterlife.
