The 15th Emir of Kano Aminu Ado Bayero has congratulated president Bola Tinubu and the Kano state Governor Abba Yusuf on the commemoration of the Arafat Day as well as the the Eid El Kabir celebration.
He addressed newsmen exclusively at the Nasarawa Palace on Saturday while delivering the annual Arafat Day speech.
He further called on them to bring more benefits to the people and also provided security for their lives and property.
The emir reiterated that he has not only withdrawn plans to stage the durbar festivities, but has also withdrawn his plan to lead prayers at the Kofar Mata Eid ground of the city of Kano.
He explained the need for peaceful coexistence, cooperation with the security agencies and regard for law and order for the progress and development of the state.
The 15th Emir of Kano also congratulated the pilgrim on the Arafat Day and prayed that those who couldn’t make it to Hajj this year will make it next year.
However, the Emir also instructed Aminu Babba Dan’agundi, the Sarkin Dawaki Babba to announce that he is going to pray at his Nasarawa Palace while inviting the public to join him by 8:00am Sunday morning.
He explained further that he will receive visitors by evening of the same day and Monday morning who will come to pay Sallah homage.
He appealed to the public to remain calm even as the security agencies have banned the durbar festivities for this Eid Al Kabir.
