Eid-el-Kabir: Forgive your enemies, Arewa youths urge Bayero

The Arewa Youth Advancement Forum on Sunday felicitated the 15th Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero on the occasion of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.

The youths urged the deposed emir to forgive his enemies.

The forum in a statement issued on Sunday by its President, Nuhu Magaji, saluted and hailed the monarch’s commitment to the progress and development of the state even in the face of adversity.

Magaji also commended the traditional ruler for his unwavering dedication to the peace and progress of the state, describing him as a symbol of stability.

The statement read, “As the Muslim Ummah celebrates the auspicious occasion of Eid al-Adha, the Arewa Youth Advancement Forum wishes to extend its warmest felicitations to His Highness Emir Ado Bayero.

“Despite the recent unfortunate events, we stand in solidarity with Emir Bayero, a symbol of peace, progress, and stability. His wise leadership and vision have been a shining example to our generation.

“Emir Bayero’s dedication to the emirate and the state is unwavering, and his legacy continues to inspire us. We recognise his tireless efforts to promote unity, understanding, and progress in Kano and beyond. His door has always been open to the people, offering guidance and support in times of need.

“His leadership and counsel are now more crucial than ever, and we implore him to remain a beacon of hope and inspiration to our generation.

“We call on all Kano citizens to remain peaceful and united, working together for the greater good of our state. Let us celebrate Eid al-Adha with love, kindness, and compassion, emulating the virtues of Emir Bayero.”

Ado Bayero now holds court in the mini Nasarawa Palace, Kano.

This came following the reinstatement of Muhammed Sanusi II as the 16th emir of Kano by the State Governor, Abba Yusuf last month after he was deposed.
