The embattled monarch, who highlighted Kano’s importance in Nigeria, urged the Kano people to remain law-abiding.
Bayero expressed confidence that justice would prevail, stated his willingness to accept the legal outcome, and prayed for peace and just leadership in the state.
He said:”I call on the people to remain law-abiding while awaiting the outcome of the legal process in this tussle. We call on the authorities to do justice in this matter. Kano is a very influential state in Nigeria. Whatever affects Kano affects Nigeria. May peace reign in Kano.
“We pray that Allah blesses Kano with responsible and just leaders. Justice is the way to go on every issue. There will be justice. Nobody is above the law. We will accept whatever the law says. I appreciate all the people who have shown concern.
