"We tried to plead with notable men whom our father would have wanted to be our father figures, to get us a home and a business, but nothing has happened. They are men like the late Maitama Sule, the late Shehu Idris, Emir of Zaria and the late Tony Momoh, who was my mum's uncle but no respite yet."As a daughter of the House of Dabo in the Kano Royal dynasty, I have tried my best to avoid going into the details of the drama behind the scenes, but I can't help it anymore."In my directorial debut of telling the story of my dad, I have been sabotaged for whatever reasons, but I know that's the reason it hasn't been launched or supported by the government or my father's admirers in the north."I'm trying to be independent and survive but as a royal, it is not easy. The project was self-funded by my mum and myself. We got an apartment but got evicted last year."Ado Bayero's daughter begs Sanusi, Otti over eviction notice
Speaking further, Zainab explained that her mum and her brother have been in Morning Side Suites for two month now. According to her, they have tried hard to settle the bills but it is a tough situation.
"The general manager of the hotel asked us to vacate yesterday, June 24, 2024, they came with police to evct us but we are still begging them."I need Alex Otti to intervene in this situation. I know as a father he wouldn't bear our eviction. I have tried to get to him by sending some of his staff members like J. Martins but I got no response. "The death of my father put us in danger. I hope I get a positive response from Otti. The current emir of Kano is also aware of our predicament. I pray for peace in Kano state and hop that the governor of Kano, Abba Yusuf also intervenes in this matter because we need help."Kano court adjourns suit seeking to stop Bayero, 4 others as emirs
