Shettima, Atiku attend Kwankwaso’s daughter’s wedding
Top Nigerian politicians, including Vice President Kashim Shettima and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, attended the wedding. The event was strategic as it brought relevance to Sanusi as the Emir of Kano.
However, days later, an invitation emerged that Bayero would be hosting his son and daughter’s wedding at his mini palace. Bayero’s children are getting married to the son and daughter of the Deputy Senate President, Jubrin Barau.
In the invitation shared by Barau in a tweet on Sunday, November 17, the deputy Senate president described Bayero as the Emir of Kano. The invitation has started generating reactions from concerned Nigerians.
Nigerians react to Bayero’s daughter’s wedding invitation
Below are some of their reactions:
Adamu Ibrahim Aliyu wrote:
“As far as the extant laws of the land are concerned, the appointment of traditional rulers in Nigeria is the exclusive preserve of state Governors, and Sanusi remains the Emir.”
Ibrahim sent his goodwin:
“Māshā Allāh. May Allāh bless their union with a wonderful beginning and make the marital home a mirror and pride of the society. Aameen. Congratulations to the entire clans.”
Idoma’s Pride commented:
“This invite shows clearly that he is the one behind Ado Bayero. He feels as the Dep Senate president, he has the power to forcefully install Ado Bayero as the emir of Kano with the backing of the President. Failed plots.”
Yusuf Bukar reacted:
“It is very unfortunate to address Aminu Ado as the Emir of Kano as the principal lawmaker in the country. Kano’s good image is going somewhere.”
