The Kano State Governor,
Abdullahi Ganduje, has directed 36 out of the 44 local government district
heads not to attend Daushe Durbar in Kano traditionally led by Emir Muhammadu
Sanusi.
This followed an announcement
from the Kano Emirate Council on local radio inviting all district heads to
attend the grand Daushe Durbar, which usually holds a day after Sallah.
Sanusi’s influence had been
whittled down since the split of the Kano emirate.
In a statement by the governor’s
spokesman, Abba Anwar, on Sunday, Ganduje directed the direct heads to shun
Sanusi and go to their respective emirates for their durbar.
“Against some calls circulating
in the social media, that “…all District Heads” were “directed” to attend Hawan
Daushe at Kano Emir’s palace, the Kano state government has directed all
Hakimai to attend Hawan Daushe at their respective Emirates.
“It is therefore directed that
District Heads from Bichi Emirate should attend their Hawan Daushe with the
First Class Emir of Bichi, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, District Heads from Rano
Emirate should attend Hawan Daushe with their First Class Emir Alhaji Dr Tafida
Abubakar (Autan Bawo).
“All District Heads from Karaye
Emirate should attend Hawan Daushe with their First Class Emir, Alhaji Dr
Ibrahim Abubakar II, all District Heads from Gaya Emirate should attend Hawan
Daushe with their First Class Emir, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdulkadir and those
District Heads from Kano Emirate are also directed to attend Hawan Daushe with
their First Class Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
“While directing all Hakimai to
comply with this directive, the state government wishes all Muslims fruitful, peaceful
and prosperous Sallah celebration. As all measures to have smooth, peaceful and
hitch-free celebration are put in place,” the statement added.
