<p><a target="_blank" href="http://gistreel.com/tag/nudu-ribadu" rel="noopener"><strong>Nuhu Ribadu</strong>,</a> the national security adviser, made headlines on Thursday when, at an Abuja event, he referred to Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero as the <a target="_blank" href="http://gistreel.com/tag/emir-of-kano" rel="noopener"><strong>Emir of Kano</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Gistreel reported that a few months ago, Bayero and Sanusi Muhammadu Sanusi, the former governor of the <strong>Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN),</strong> fought it out for the position of Kano Emirship.</p>
<p>Former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje deposed Sanusi from the throne and named Bayero the new Emir back in March 2020.</p>
<p>But four years later, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, Ganduje’s replacement, fired Bayero and put Sanusi back in place.</p>

<p>Bayero, whose removal was announced while he was outside the state, returned to Kano and took residence in the mini palace at Nasarawa, where he has been conducting his court.</p>
<p>Subsequently, Governor Yusuf ordered the immediate arrest of the monarch.</p>
<p>However, rather than complying, security measures were intensified at the mini palace, leading to speculation that Bayero had support from federal authorities.</p>
<p>Reacting to the development, Aminu Gwarzo, the Deputy Governor of Kano, claimed that Ribadu played a role in Bayero’s return by providing him with two private jets.</p>
<p>Ribadu denied these allegations and threatened legal action against Gwarzo.</p>
<p>In a letter from Aliyu &; Musa Chambers, Ribadu’s legal representatives, an apology was demanded from the deputy governor, who subsequently retracted his statement.</p>
<p>The dispute over the emirate eventually transitioned to the judicial system, with both parties filing separate lawsuits against each other.</p>
<p>Today, during the 1st Annual International Lecture organized by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, themed “Insecurity in the Sahel (2008-2024),” Ribadu acknowledged Ado Bayero as the Emir of Kano.</p>
<p>While recognizing the dignitaries present, Ribadu stated, <em>“Of course the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero,”</em> which was met with applause from the audience.</p>
<p>According to reports, the video clip has sparked a wide range of responses on social media.</p>
