The National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadau, on Thursday addressed Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero as the Emir of Kano.
At the 1st Annual International Lecture organised by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) with the theme, “Insecurity in the Sahel (2008-2024)” in Abuja on Thursday, Ribadu addressed Bayero as the Emir of Kano.
While recognizing dignitaries at the event, Ribadu had said, “Of course the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero.”
His comment elicited a thunderous applause in the hall.
A social media user and supporter of the Emir, Rabiu Uba Danzainab posted the 33 seconds video on his X page (rabiuuba4) with the caption, “Ribadu addressed our Emir as the Legitimate Emir of Kano.”
But another user, Ahmed Idris, said, “APC Emir. He better starts a new jihad.”
Another X User, @StudentYahaya, said, “Only the court of a competent jurisdiction can do so, not Ribadu.”
“The legitimate emir is not seated on the high table.. is that?” asked another user @mdhadjii
