According to Atiku, Sanusi's reinstatement as the Emir of Kano and Ado Bayero's deposition in the ancient city followed the duo process stipulated in the 1999 constitution.

In the early hours of Saturday, May 25, the deposed Emir Ado Bayero returned to the state in a bid to take over the Kano palace, which had already been occupied by the reinstated Sanusi.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf subsequently ordered the arrest of Ado Bayero, who was being protected by the military at the mini-palace in Nasarawa. Still, the security agencies in the state said they would only obey the court order that restrained the governor from reinstating Sanusi as the Emir of Kano.

While Atiku was silent about the court judgment, he noted that President Tinubu's administration should be reminded that Kano is known for its peace. Any attempt to sabotage its peaceful nature would be resisted.
