The dethroned Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, has extended an invitation to all district heads in Kano Emirate to participate in the annual traditional durbar event in celebration of Eid-el-Kabir festival.
LEADERSHIP reports that Bayero’s plan to host the durbar comes amid his dethronement by the Kano State Government and the attendant legal tussle over the Kano Emirship.
