Aminu Bayero, the deposed Emir of Kano, is currently receiving district heads inside the Nassarawa palace.
Muhammadu Sanusi, the reinstated Emir, played host to
district heads as well on Sunday in his Kano palace.
TheCable understands that the district heads who just paid
homage to Bayero are not loyal to Sanusi.
Kano has been embroiled in crisis since Sanusi was
reinstated as Emir on Thursday.
Bayero returned to Kano on Saturday to a hero’s welcome from
a horde of his supporters. However, Abba Yusuf, the Kano governor, immediately
ordered Bayero’s arrest for “disturbing the peace”.
The Kano state house of assembly had amended a 2019 law
which was used by Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano at the time, to depose
Sanusi as Emir.
The 2019 legislation had balkanised the emirate into Bichi,
Rano, Karaye, Kano and Gaya.
The repealed version sacked the Emirs of all the
jurisdictions. However, while all the deposed Emirs have complied with the
governor’s directive to vacate their palaces, Bayero has not.
Protests from Bayero’s supporters erupted across Kano on
Sunday.
