The Kano State government has stated that it is not involved in any planned gathering linked to the Nasarawa Palace Emir, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero.
The clarification was issued by the Director General of Media and Publicity to the Kano State Governor, Malam Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, on his Facebook page.
He spoke after reports circulated by supporters of the Nasarawa Palace claiming that the event was being organised in collaboration with the Kano State Government and its supporters.
The claims caused concern among supporters of the Emir of Kano at Kofar Kudu, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II.
Reacting to the situation, Malam Sanusi Bature dismissed the reports, describing them as false.
It is recalled that the Kano Emirate dispute between Khalifa Muhammadu Sanusi II and Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero has divided the region. Sanusi II was restored to the throne following the victory of Kano Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and the New Nigeria Peoples Party.
Since then, a clear line has been drawn: the state government recognises Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano, while Aminu Ado Bayero is supported by elements from the Federal Government.
With Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf reportedly set to decamp to the All Progressives Congress, the emirate dispute may take a new direction over time.
