‘Nobody Is Above The Law’: Dethroned Emir Aminu Bayero Breaks Silence As His Motorcade Sets For Emir’s Palace
Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, the 15th Emir of Kano, has said no one is above the law, calling on the people to remain calm.
Speaking at the mini-palace where he has been since his return to the state after his dethronement, he said justice would prevail.
Themonarch vowed to accept whatever the law states, adding that Kano is an important state in Nigeria.
Speaking in Hausa, he said, “I call on the people to remain law-abiding while awaiting outcome of the legal process on this tussle.
“We call on the authority to do justice in this matter. Kano is a very influential state in Nigeria. Whatever affects Kano affects Nigeria. May peace reign in Kano. We pray for Allah to bless Kano with responsible and just leaders. Justice is the way to go on every issue. There will be justice. Nobody is above law. We will accept whatever the law says. I appreciate all the people who have shown concern. As I said, justice will take its course. We will keep on praying for peace in Kano State. May Allah the Almighty protect us.”
Meanwhile, the motorcade of the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, are being readied for movement to the emir’s Palace.
The Emir who was deposed alongside emirs of Rano, Bichi, Karaye and Gaya by the Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, after the repeal of Emirates Council Law, returned to the city in the early hours of Saturday.
Governor Yusuf had earlier ordered the deposed emirs to vacate official residences and hand over properties to Commissioner of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
Despite the directive, Bayero, returned to Kano and moved into a mini palace in Nassarawa, a development that led to the governor calling for his arrest, but the police vowed to obey court order against the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi II as Emir of Kano.
Meanwhile, a motorcade of Aminu Ado Bayero are being arranged to move to the main palace, confirming a statement made by a former Commissioner in the administration of Ganduje that plans were underway to return the deposed Aminu Bayero to the throne.
