The National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadau, on Thursday addressed Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero as the Emir of Kano.

Both Bayero and Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi are laying claim to the revered stool of the Emir of Kano.

In March 2020, former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had dethroned Sanusi and named Bayero Emir.

However, four years after, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf sacked Bayero and reinstated Sanusi.

Bayero’s whose sack was announced when he was out of the state, had returned to Kano and moved into the mini palace at Nasarawa, where he has been holding court.

Angered by his action, Yusuf had ordered the immediate arrest of the monarch, but rather than comply, security was beefed up at the mini palace, fueling the speculation that Bayero had federal backing.

Aminu Gwarzo, Deputy Governor of Kano, had alleged that Ribadu facilitated the return of Bayero by providing him with two private jets.

But Ribadu had denied the allegation while threatening to sue Gwarzo.

In a letter, Aliyu & Musa Chambers, counsel to Ribadu, demanded an apology from the deputy governor who later recanted.

The battle for the control of the emirate later shifted to the courts as both camps filed different suits to challenge on anbother.

However at the 1st Annual International Lecture organised by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) with the theme, “Insecurity in the Sahel (2008-2024)” in Abuja on Thursday, Ribadu addressed Bayero as the Emir of Kano.

While recognizing dignitaries at the event, Ribadu had said, “Of course the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero.”

His comment elicited a thunderous applause in the hall.

A social media and er of the Emir, Rabiu Uba Danzainab posted the 33 seconds video on his X page (rabiuuba4) with the caption, “Ribadu addressed our Emir as the Legitimate Emir of Kano.”

But another , Ahmed Idris, said, “APC Emir. He better starts a new jihad.”

Another X , @StudentYahaya, said, “Only the court of a competent jurisdiction can do so, not Ribadu.”

“The legitimate emir is not seated on the high table.. is that?” asked another @mdhadjii

Nlfpmod

Instead of factional Emir of Kano.

It's tantamount to addressing Obasanjo as "Mr President"....Which is ok, if you asked me...

So we should fry newspaper now or what

For now, Sanusi is the only Emir recognized by the Government of the state any other one na counterfeit.

These people are just playing with our intelligence. They think they can cajole the masses to gain cheap popularly whereas we are more wiser now. They should continue with their game. They will meet us there soon

Which one is drama there, is he not an Emir?

Black face

Na wa

Drama in what way?

This guy Ribadu is one of the biggest problems we are facing in this country.

He has his hands in a lot that is going wrong just because of his over ambitiousness and to prove his loyalty to Tinubu.

Accused of causing confusion in Kano Emirate tussle
Accused of rigging elections in Edo State
Introduced the controversial cybercrime levy
Kidnapped the Binance official who he invited to discuss business.

Meanwhile an incumbent Governor accused the Minister of Defence of sponsoring terrorism, as the NSA, he has never thought it wise to invite that minister for questioning.

One day his cup will be full

When people call him out, the next thing is to threaten lawsuit.

Why not? Ado Bayero is still an Emir.
Nigeria is merry go round.
Next political dispensation, Sanusi will stall again be adressed as former Emir
In Kano they know the score

Noted.

Emir that use to be a reverend office is now fractional.

Ribadu holds a very strong post that should be respected by any king or emir

Emir of the Northern Protectorates of Kanawa - Ado Bayero

Emir of the Southern Protectorates of Kanawa - Sanusi Lamido

Another one

Ok

APC and lies!!! Ribadu denied it back then...but the truth is coming out who he s

Everybody just dey show power for Naija..🤔

This power that would all leave one day and return back to our Creator naked..

Blame the Governor

Hmmmmm

Should he have referred to him as emir of enugu

Tinubu and those around him are mad men

Pls forgive him
It's a slip of tongue
But the only drama here is that the voice is the voice of Esau and it was previously thought to be the voice of Jacob
Breeze don blow fowl yansh

Everywhere na confusion

Oga Ribadu they're better ways to spend security funds beyond creating trouble where there is none.

Lol 🤣


Bro did you watch the entire program (a security lecture) on NTA earlier today?

Hahaha 😂
It looks like the man was very high ... Everyone in the audience including security aides standing behind the podium were amazed, enthralled at the speech...

The former president smiled

Will this reduce the price of a bag of rice or fuel currently selling for 1350/ltr?
