The deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, has broken his silence following his removal by Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf.
While addressing a horde of his supporters at his mini palace in Nassarawa Local Government Area of the State on Saturday, Bayero, who spoke in Hausa Language, said justice would prevail.
The deposed Emir, who urged residents of the state to remain law abiding, pledged to follow whatever the law says, adding that Kano is too important to Nigeria.
“I call on the people to remain law-abiding while awaiting the outcome of the legal process on this tussle.
“We call on the authority to do justice in this matter. Kano is a very influential state in Nigeria. Whatever affects Kano affects Nigeria. May peace reign in Kano. We pray for Allah to bless Kano with responsible and just leaders.
“Justice is the way to go on every issue. There will be justice. Nobody is above the law. We will accept whatever the law says. I appreciate all the people who have shown concern. As I said, justice will take its course. We will keep on praying for peace in Kano State. May Allah the Almighty protect us,” he said.
The deposed monarch arrived the ancient city in the early hours of Saturday.
