Emir Bayero cancels Eid-el-Fitr durbar celebration over security concerns

The 15th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, has announced the cancellation of his Eid-el-Fitr Durbar celebration, citing security concerns.

Recall that both Emir Muhammadu Sanusi and Emir Aminu Ado Bayero had announced separate plans to organise Durbar activities to mark the end of Ramadan festivities.

However, this declaration has been causing tension if both monarchs stand on their points to go on with their different Durbar celebrations.

This was just as Emir Bayero stated that respected Islamic Clerics, elders, stakeholders, and his council members prevailed upon him to cancel the celebration in the interest of peace.

The Emir made the announcement during a press briefing at his Nasarawa Mini palace in Kano.

Emir Bayero, therefore, emphasised that the peaceful coexistence of the people is more paramount to the Durbar celebration.

He then urged the people of Kano to use the period of Sallah celebration to visit families and friends, and to witness the Sallah celebration in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

Bayero prayed for Allah’s worship and expectations in the month of Ramadan, hoping that the people of Kano would be among those who receive forgiveness and mercy.
