The flag is traditionally raised every morning at 6 am and lowered at 6 pm.

According to Leadership, the flag is a symbol of authority and legitimacy of the Emir.

The flag reaffirms the authority of Emir Bayero, who currently occupies the Nasarawa palace.

It also signifies the presence of the emir and remains down when he is officially outside the palace or travelling.

This is coming after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf reversed the creation of four new emirates of Bichi, Rano, Karaye, and Gaye and dismissed the emirs appointed by his predecessor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

Governor Yusuf also sacked Bayero and reinstated Muhammad Sanusi as the Emir of Kano following the amendment of the Kano Emirates Council Law by the Kano state house of assembly.

TheTalk.NG reported that Governor Yusuf gave a new directive after ordering the demolition of Emir Bayero’s palace.

Yusuf later approved the sum of ₦99,928,541.63 for the renovation of the Nassarawa Emir’s Palace. Bayero’s Palace renovation was approved by the Kano State Executive Council at its 15th meeting on Saturday, June 22

Lawyer interprets court ruling on Kano Emirate tussle

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG reported that Kano-based lawyer, Umar Sa’ad Hassan, interpreted the federal high court’s ruling on the Kano Emirate tussle.

Hassan said while the Kano state government and Aminu Ado Bayero camps are giving different interpretations, the ruling means that Sanusi Lamido ceased to be Emir of Kano.

In an exclusive chat with Legit, Hasan explained that Governor Abba Yusuf’s action to reinstate Sanusi as Emir was declared void because it was done after an injunction was granted.
