The tussle for the Kano emirship raged on last week as the two men fighting over the stool, Aminu Bayero and Lamido Sanusi, made public appearances outside their palaces for the first time since the crisis began.
The reinstated emir, Mr Sanusi, attended the state government’s distribution of fertilisers to small-holder farmers at the Government House on Thursday. In contrast, the deposed Mr Ado-Bayero participated on Saturday in the annual closing prayer for peace and stability organised by the Tijjaniyya Muslim leaders at Isyaku Rabiu’s residence in Goron Dutse.
Mr Sanusi’s motorcade passed through the Kofar Nassarawa area, where the mini palace where Mr Bayero is staying is located. He attended the event at the Government House hosted by Governor Abba Yusuf. Residents greeted him as he passed through the area.
On Saturday, Mr Bayero left his mini palace residence. He rode in a motorcade through Audu Bako Way, Central Hotel, Club Road roundabout, Murtala Mohammed Way, Triumph Newspaper’s former office, Gwammaja and Mambayya House to the venue of the event at Goron Dutse.
