This action has ignited discussions and speculations, given the ongoing royal tussle in the state.

The flag, a significant symbol of authority that denotes the Emir’s presence, is traditionally raised at 6 a.m. and lowered at 6 p.m. daily.

It remains down when the Emir is absent or travelling. On Thursday morning, the flag was observed to be raised at the Nassarawa Palace, sparking conversations about its implications.

Both Aminu Ado Bayero and Muhammadu Sanusi II have continued to assert their claims to the Kano Emirate throne, performing all traditional and royal duties.

Bayero was deposed, and Sanusi was reappointed by the state government following an amendment to the state’s Emirate Law.

In response to the flag-raising, the state governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, dismissed the action at the Nassarawa Palace as an attempt to gain public attention. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“It’s a useless attempt to gain cheap publicity. There is no confusion or doubt that Emir Sanusi is the Emir of Kano,” he stated to newsmen.

The same flag is also hoisted at the Gidan Rumfa Palace, the residence of the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing dispute.

The state government maintains that there is no ambiguity about the rightful Emir, affirming Muhammadu Sanusi II’s position as the legitimate Emir of Kano.

The group, however, urged the judiciary not to be compromised by these desperate politicians.

“We also advise these politicians to desist from their actions and seek the path of justice and truth,” the statement noted.

“The CRC warns the impostors to stop using its name to spread falsehood and propaganda. We will not hesitate to take legal action against them if they continue. “We will not allow these individuals to tarnish our reputation and undermine our work.
