This evening, I hosted our esteemed Emirs, led by His Highness, Muhammadu Sanusi II, the Emir of Kano to a Ramadan iftar meeting, at the Government House, Kano, on Tuesday.
During the engagement, I directed all the four Emirates in Kano to commence preparations for the Sallah Durbar to ensure that citizens and visitors enjoy the festive period to the fullest.
I emphasised that the people of the state eagerly anticipate the tradition of wearing new clothes on Sallah Day, and lining the streets to witness their Emirs on horseback, with the exchange of greetings.
Additionally, I stated that this administration will not relent and will not allow any adversaries to deprive citizens of this cherished right.
I also assured the public that all security agencies in the state will be engaged to provide adequate protection for the people during the celebration.
Similarly, I also disclosed that the Kano State Emirate Council will be inaugurated in April this year to enable it to function effectively.
While expressing my gratitude for their support and leadership, I commended the Emirs for the maturity and positive relationship they have demonstrated since their appointments, noting that this marks the first time in the state’s history where there is such absolute respect among the Emirs, particularly in terms of hierarchy. - AKY
