Emir Bayero to commence Sallah horse-riding procession in Kano Thursday
The 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, is set to participate in the traditional Sallah Hawan Daushe and Hawan Nassarawa processions on Thursday and Friday respectively.
The development was disclosed by Aminu Babba Dan’agundi, a senior councillor at Bayero’s palace.
Dan’agundi stated that security agencies had granted approval for the traditional Sallah processions to take place.
He said on Wednesday that the traditional horse-riding activities would commence with the Hawan Daushe, during which Emir Aminu Ado Bayero would pass through the city centre, excluding the main Kano Emir’s Palace currently occupied by the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
According to him, “We have written to the police, and they have not said we shouldn’t carry out the exercise, so we are going to do it accordingly in a more peaceful way, starting from the Nassarawa Emir Palace to Kofar Nassarawa back to his home.”
Dan’agundi added that on Friday, the procession would move through state roads to Fagge and then to Mandawari, where the Emir would rest to avoid overcrowding due to the large number of supporters expected to accompany him.
He assured that the events would be peaceful and orderly, without any breach of peace, adding that supporters had already been warned against engaging in any act capable of causing unrest
