“I grew up under the care of late Ado Bayero. I am more close to the late emir than my father who was outside the country. The late emir trained me; my first wife with whom I spent over 25 years with, is his daughter.
“We shared the same bed with his son, Turakin Kano Alhaji Nasiru Ado Bayero for over 10 years. Therefore we are calling on those people from outside the palace to stop interfering on the things that they didn’t understand.”
He added: “The Kano Emir Palace is one united family. Therefore I’m assuring the governor that all these riots and protests are not from our house, none of our relatives is behind these things and none of our relatives will sponsor such thing or be happy because of it. Because the way we grew up we all knew that all princes nurture the ambition of becoming emir one day but its Allah who chooses who will be the emir.
“The day an emir is selected all the princes are paying their allegiance to him. This is our tradition as nobody from the royal family is behind these riots.”
And to those who continue to concoct evil against innocent people, mark my words -

YOU CAN'T STOP THE WIND OF POSITIVE CHANGE COMING TO NIGERIA."
Meanwhile President Goodluck Jonathan has halted his planned trip to Kano state following the emergence of former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as Emir.
Mr. Jonathan was billed to pay a condolence visit to the state over the passing of late Monarch, Ado Bayero.
Although, the riot that broke out after official announcement by the state government is being seen as the reason for the president’s aborted trip, many believe Sanusi’s victory and the need for strategic planning may have necessitated the decision.
Even though the former CBN chief got his letter of appointment and staff of office from Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso at Government House yesterday, he is yet to enter the palace .
Sanusi reportedly spent the weekend at the Government House to avoid possible arrest by operatives of Department of State Security.
It has been reported that one of the contestants for the stool may go to court to challenge Sanusi’s
emergence.
DailyPost gathered that dissatisfied by the kingmakers’ choice, some powerful forces want status quo maintained while the litigation is slugged out in court.
Meanwhile, security agents are now keeping watch on all roads leading to the already cordoned palace which still accommodates a number of the late Emir’s relatives.
Police say they are acting on intelligence report including the invasion of the Emir’s personal room by hoodlums who stole some items. In spite of this, Sanusi’s supporters have waved off the reason, insisting there was a grand plan against his installation.
