The governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, has directed 36 out of 44
local government district heads not to attend Daushe Durbar in Kano.

The
government countered an announcement from the Kano Emirate Council on
local radio inviting all district heads to attend the grand Daushe
Durbar, which usually holds a day after Sallah.

On May 8, the
governor assented to a controversial law establishing four additional
emirates with first class emirs in Rano, Bichi, Karaye and Gaya.

However, at least two court cases were instituted, challenging the governor’s action.

Following
the governor’s decision, the powers of the Emir of Kano Muhammadu
Sanusi was whittled down as he was only left with eight metropolitan
local governments under his control, with other 36 local governments
shared to the four new emirates.

Although the emir had survived a
dethronement scare in May after the intervention of the presidency, the
governor and the emir are still not good terms.

But in a
statement by the governor’s spokesman, Abba Anwar, on Sunday, Mr Ganduje
directed the direct heads not to heed to the emir’s directive but go to
their respective emirates for their durbar.

“Against some calls
circulating in the social media, that “…all District Heads” were
“directed” to attend Hawan Daushe at Kano Emir’s palace, the Kano state
government has directed all Hakimai to attend Hawan Daushe at their
respective Emirates.

“It is therefore directed that District
Heads from Bichi Emirate should attend their Hawan Daushe with the First
Class Emir of Bichi, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, District Heads from Rano
Emirate should attend Hawan Daushe with their First Class Emir Alhaji Dr
Tafida Abubakar (Autan Bawo).

“All District Heads from Karaye
Emirate should attend Hawan Daushe with their First Class Emir, Alhaji
Dr Ibrahim Abubakar II, all District Heads from Gaya Emirate should
attend Hawan Daushe with their First Class Emir, Alhaji Ibrahim
Abdulkadir and those District Heads from Kano Emirate are also directed
to attend Hawan Daushe with their First Class Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II.

“While
directing all Hakimai to comply with this directive, the state
government wishes all Muslims fruitful, peaceful and prosperous Sallah
celebration. As all measures to have smooth, peaceful and hitch-free
celebration are put in place,” the statement added.

Recall that
on June 5, during this year’s Eid-el-Fitr celebration, the governor
cancelled the annual traditional Sallah durbar, Hawan Nassarawa, citing
security reasons.
