Emir of Kano, Mallam Muhammad Sanusi II over the weekend led a special colourful Durbar procession organised by the Emirate Council, to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the creation of Kano State.
The Sarkin Kano, clad in black traditional royal regalia, adorned with a pink turban, rode on a Camel, while his traditional drummers followed closely behind him.
The traditional horse-riders, who accompanied the royal father, comprised district heads drawn from the 44 Local Government areas of the state, with the ceremony lasting about an hour and ending at the Emir’s palace.
About 2,000 enthusiastic onlookers swamped the palace to witness the procession and catch a glimpse of the Sarkin Kano.
Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje in company of his deputy, Professor Hafiz Abubakar, the former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and other top government functionaries, as well as traditional rulers also witnessed the unique procession.
