Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has directed all four emirates in the state to commence preparations for the annual Sallah Durbar, assuring citizens and visitors of a memorable and secure celebration.  

The directive was announced in a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, following a Ramadan breakfast meeting with the Emirs at the Government House, Kano.

According to the statement, Governor Yusuf reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to upholding the state’s cultural heritage, emphasizing that the Durbar remains a deeply cherished tradition among Kano residents.

“The people of Kano eagerly anticipate the Sallah Durbar, where they dress in new clothes, gather on the streets to watch their Emirs on horseback, and exchange greetings. We will not allow any adversaries to deprive our citizens of this right,” the governor stated.

To ensure the safety of participants and spectators, Governor Yusuf disclosed that all security agencies in the state would be fully engaged in providing adequate protection throughout the festivities.

In addition to the Durbar preparations, the governor revealed that the Kano State Emirate Council would be formally inaugurated in April to strengthen its role in governance and cultural affairs.

“The guidelines, ethics, and other crucial components of the Emirate Council will be communicated on the day of the inauguration,” he said.

Governor Yusuf also commended the Emirs for fostering a harmonious relationship since their appointments, describing it as an unprecedented display of respect among the state’s traditional rulers.

“The maturity and positive relationship among the Emirs are commendable. This is the first time in the state’s history that we are witnessing such absolute respect in terms of hierarchy,” he noted.
