Kano Emir, Sanusi Removes Ado Bayero’s Son As Ciroman

 

The succession crisis rocking the Kano royal family since the

death of the the former Emir, Alhaji Ado Bayero, has taken a new

turn with the removal of the eldest son of the late emir from office

as the Ciroman Kano.

The Office of the Ciroman Kano is said to be usually reserved for the

eldest son of the reigning Emir.

Mal Muhammadu Sunusi II who ordered the removal of the late

Emir’s son from the title holders in the emirate Council via a letter to

the late Emir’s son was not however categorical on his “sins” before

his removal.

Feelers from the palace however hinted that the Ciroman, the eldest

son of the late Emir, since the mandatory paying homage to the

new Emir after his nomination by the King Makers, left the state to

settle in Abuja in order to avoid clash of interest within the royal

family.

From all indication, the current Emir feels as a result of this

relocation, his authority as the 14th ruler was being threatened

owing to the total absence from all activities of the palace including

the yearly Sallah Durbah celebrations.

Since assuming the mantle of as the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Lamido

Sunusi has not hidden his disdain to the love and affection being

shown on the late Emir’s children who are among the senior title

holders at the palace.

However, that situation forced the former Central Bank of Nigeria

boss to elevate some title holders above the late Emir’s sons all in

an attempt to frustrate them so that they will dump the title and

leave the palace.

It was said that some notable personalities in the state like Alhaju

Amiunu Dantata, Alhaji Istaka Rabiu and Dan Masanin Kano Yusuf

Maitama Sule prevailed upon them not to do that for the unity and

progress of the palace and the royal family.

The Emir, having sensed that it will not be feasible, appointed a new

district head and posted him to Gwale local government which is a

direct confrontational approach by the the family of the Ado Bayero.

That action was also repealed by notable people who are very close

to the late Emir. They were to be unhappy with the festering

relations within the royal house.

It was not however ascertained weather Kano Emir will remove all of

Alhaji Ado Bayere’s sons from their respective domains as district

heads.

Meanwhile, the ruling All Progressives Congress also on its part

gave the assurance that President Buhari will not stop anti-graft

agencies from probing members of the ruling party, including

ministerial nominees who are culpable of corruption as the president

is a respecter of rule of law.
