May 26, (THEWILL)- Recently dethroned Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero and Bichi Emir, Nasiru Ado Bayero who are siblings, both sons of Ado Bayero, a former Emir of Kano and the longest serving Emir in the history of Kano, have given out their children to be joined in holy matrimony. Sanusi, the son of Aminu Ado Bayero tied the nuptial knot with his cousin, Rumana, daughter of Nasiru Ado Bayero. The ceremony was officiated by the Chief Imam of Kano, Professor Sani Zahradeen. Kano State deputy governor, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, who stood for the groom, sought the hand of Rumana from her ‘wali,’ Dan Iyan Kano, Ahmad Ado Bayero, and paid N250,000 as dowry. The wedding Fatiha had in attendance dignitaries from far and wide. The groom graduated from MTI University, Cairo, Egypt, with a BSc in Business Management in 2020 and is currently working with the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), while the bride is a graduate of Building Surveying from Portsmouth University, United Kingdom. At the time the wedding held, Aminu Ade Bayero was still the Emir of Kano and so the ceremonies took place in his palace, and it was widely referred to as the royal wedding. Recall that only a few days ago, the Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf reinstated Sanusi Lamido Sanusi four years after he was dethroned as the Emir of Kano. The governor then sacked the Emirs of the new emirates (Karaye, Bichi, Rano and Gaya in addition to that of Kano) created by the immediate past governor, Abdullahi Ganduje and asked them to vacate their palaces and 0fficial residences.
