Despite the Emir of Kano tussle, residents are going about their normal businesses peacefully.

In Nasarawa, Fagge, Dala, and Gwale, businesses and private offices opened. Motor parks and all filling stations in the metropolis also opened.

The Yankaba market in Nasarawa (a local government area), opened immediately after the monthly environmental sanitation exercise.

Similarly, residents turned out in large numbers for their daily activities at the Singa, Kwari, and Sabon-gari markets in the Kano metropolis. In the Dawanau International grains market, in the Tofa local government area, the situation was not different as customers trooped to the market to transact their business peacefully.

A resident of Nasarawa, Tanko Idris, said Kano remained peaceful and that activities were going on in a conducive atmosphere. He also appealed to residents to remain peaceful and law-abiding.

Another municipal resident, Aminu Sa’adu, called on the public to remain calm and respect constituted authorities. He appealed to residents to exercise patience and not worry about themselves in Kano because the parties involved in the crisis are from one family.

Baba Ali, a resident of Fagge, said the tussle has killed the integrity of the traditional heritage as politicians manipulate who became emir.

Mr Ali also urged the public to accept the new emir and pray for peace, security, and unity in the state and the country.

There was heavy security presence in strategic locations in the metropolis to protect the lives and property of the citizens.

Armed security men were deployed to the Governor’s House, the Emir of Kano’s palace and guests’ house.
