The royal tussle in Kano between Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II and Aminu Ado-Bayero shows no signs of ending, as both figures continue their battle for relevance in the state.

While the fight plays out within court premises, both sides continue to organise events at their palaces, drawing influential figures to their gatherings.

While Bayero has continued to stay at the mini palace of the Emir, Sanusi remains recognised by the Kano state government. At the weekend, Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former governor in the state and ardent defender of Sanusi, held his daughter's wedding at Sanusi's palace.

In the invitation shared by Barau in a tweet on Sunday, November 17, the deputy Senate president described Bayero as the Emir of Kano. The invitation has started generating reactions from concerned Nigerians.

Ibrahim sent his goodwin:

"Māshā Allāh. May Allāh bless their union with a wonderful beginning and make the marital home a mirror and pride of the society. Aameen. Congratulations to the entire clans."

Idoma's Pride commented:

"This invite shows clearly that he is the one behind Ado Bayero. He feels as the Dep Senate president, he has the power to forcefully install Ado Bayero as the emir of Kano with the backing of the President. Failed plots."

Yusuf Bukar reacted:

"It is very unfortunate to address Aminu Ado as the Emir of Kano as the principal lawmaker in the country. Kano's good image is going somewhere."
