The 15th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, attended the annual peace prayer for the nation organized by the Isyaku Rabiu family on Saturday.
The event, held in the first Islamic month, involves the recitation of the Holy Qur’an up to 3,000 times to pray for the peace, prosperity, and progress of the country. Emir Aminu Ado Bayero was present for the final day of this year’s prayers.
The Emir participated in a procession from the Nassarawa mini palace to the Isyaku Rabiu mosque at Goron Dutse and returned to the palace in the same manner.
This marked the Emir’s first appearance since his return to Kano and resettlement at the Nassarawa mini palace.
Thousands of Kano residents turned out to greet the Emir as he made his way through the city. The crowds lined the streets, acknowledging Bayero as he passed by.
In related news, the 16th Emir, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi, had his first official outing two days ago, moving from the Gidan Rumfa palace to the State Government House to meet with the newly appointed second-class Emirs of Gaya, Rano, and Karaye.
