Sanusi vs Bayero: Drama as deputy senate president reveals Kano Emir

  • The Kano royal tussle between Aminu Ado Bayero and Muhammadu Sanusi II has taken a new dimension from the courtrooms
  • This is as Deputy Senate President Jubrin Barau is giving his daughter and son-in-marriage to that of Bayero at the mini palace and described the latter as the Emir of Kano in his invitation
  • Barau’s invitation was shared days after Rabiu Kwankwaso held his daughter’s wedding at Sanusi’s palace, and this has got some Nigerians talking

The Kano Royal tussle between Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II and Aminu Ado-Bayero was far from ending, as the two fighters battled for relevance in the state. The fight is not only within the court premises anymore, but also the kind of events being organised at their palaces and the influential figures they are hosting.

While Bayoro has continued to stay at the mini palace of the Emir, Sanusi remains recognised by the Kano state government. At the weekend, Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former governor in the state and ardent defender of Sanusi, held his daughter’s wedding at Sanusi’s palace.
