Give us N150 million to buy a house in Lagos — Late Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero’s daughter begs Gov. Abba Yusuf

Zainab, daughter of the late Emir of Kano Ado Bayero, has sought Governor Abba Yusuf’s help for a house and financial support.

Bayero, who di£d on June 6, 2014 at age 83, was the longest-serving emir in Kano’s history after he ruled from 1963 to 2014.

In an interview with PremiumTimes on Friday, August 23, Zainab said: “I know a lot of people will be very surprised that the daughter of an Emir is in this kind of situation. Being born into a polygamous home, there are a lot of intrigues and divisions.

The whole thing started when my daddy di£d; his d£ath left a void within the family. Everyone was alone, especially me, my mother and my younger brother. We were not given a part of his (my father’s) estate, so we were left in a terrible situation, which has been going on for ten years.

We’ve been trying to survive and find ways to get back on our feet and return to a proper environment—to have a home, not renting or moving from hotel to hotel. We would love the governor to help us buy or give us money to get a house here in Lagos.

Since our father’s d£ath, we believe it would be better to relocate to Lagos and start a new life for safety and freedom and to live our lives the way we want.
