ADVERTISEMENTThe new emir was presented with instruments of Kano Emirship by the Madaki of Kano and chairman of the four-man kingmakers’ council, Alhaji Yusuf Nabahani Cigari Ibrahim, at the Government House, Kano.

 The palace of the emir of kano has continued to be under tight security on tuesday,as security men condoned off the area,to forestall breakdown of the law and order.

This came as the new Emir of Kano,Mallam Lamido Sanusi,received visitors who paid him homage at the Government House.

 The instruments comprise the Holy Qu’ran, the “twin spear” (Tagwayen Masu), the sword, Emir Dabo’s hat and the ostrich plumage shoe.

The official turbanning ceremony would take place at the emir’s palace at a date to be announced which was been confirmed by a source

He, however, dispelled the rumour doing the rounds that the official ceremony had taken place at the state house, saying this was far from being true, because tradition did not allow for the turbanning to take place outside the palace.

Among dignitaries who had paid a visit to the new emir at the Government House were the Adamawa State governor, Alhaji Murtala Nyako; his Imo State counterpart, Rochas Okorocha; business magnate, Alhaji Aliko Dangote; the Makama, Alhaji Abdullahi Sarki Ibrahim; Professor Isa Hashim; Alhaji Muhammad Aliyu and the Deputy Secretary of the Emirate Council, Alhaji Sarki Waziri.
