The Kano Emirate Concil (KEC) has
reacted to the cancellation of Hawan Nassarawa durbar in deference to the
directive of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi
II, was expected to visit Ganduje at the Government House on Thursday, being
two days after the Eid, as mark of allegiance to the political authority.
A statement Wednesday night by
Malam Abba Anwar, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, cited security
reasons.
“It is clear to all that,
Governor Ganduje is a peace loving leader, who doesn’t toy with safety and
security of his people and all other citizens living in Kano”, it read.
“For this reason and as a result
of the intelligence report, the state government is not relenting, and it
declares Hawan Nassarawa cancelled.
“After the security meeting the
Kano Metropolitan Emirate Council was duly informed about the terrifying
intelligence report and the cancellation of Hawan Nassarawa.”
Reacting, a terse statement
signed by Alhaji Abba Yusuf, acting secretary of Emirate Council, said the Emir
had accepted the governor’s decision.
“In view of the cancellation of
all the durbars, the emirate has set aside June 7 for a prayer session to mark
the 5th year remembrance of the late emir, Ado Bayero, and 5th year anniversary
of the present emir”, it read in part.
