Royal rumble: Sanusi remains our emir – Kano govt

•Says hoisting of flags at Nasarawa mini palace irrelevant

The Kano State government has dismissed the hoisting of traditional and official flags at the Nassarawa mini palace, where the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, resides, as a mere attempt to gain attention.

The flag symbolizes authority and signifies the emir’s presence when raised. It is typically raised at 6am and taken down at 6pm, remaining down when the emir is away from the palace or travelling.

On Thursday, the flag was raised at 6am at the Nassarawa mini palace.

Both Aminu Ado Bayero and Muhammadu Sanusi II continue to claim the Kano emirate throne and perform all traditional and royal rites.

Bayero was deposed and Sanusi was appointed by the state government following an amendment to the state’s emirate law.

The same flag is also hoisted at the Gidan Rumfa palace, where the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, resides.

The state governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, dismissed the action as a mere attempt to gain public attention.

“It’s a useless attempt to gain cheap publicity. There is no confusion or doubt that Emir Sanusi is the Emir of Kano,” he told Daily Trust yesterday.
