During his speech, Prof. Imam acknowledged Emir Bayero’s peaceful approach to the current tensions in Kano, stating:

“His Highness has been an advocate of peace, and since the beginning of the Emirate Tussle, he has been doing his best to maintain peace despite all efforts by some unscrupulous elements to disrupt it.”

He further emphasized that the Emir’s decision to suspend the Durbar celebration demonstrated his commitment to stability in Kano.

“Suspending the Durbar is an indication that you’re a peaceful man. This is how the late Emir, who happened to be your father, was.”
