“It has become necessary for us to visit such emirate and other well known emirates to strengthen the relationship between the councils.

“We are aware of the long existing good relationship between the late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero and the late Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Shehu Idris.

“Whatever concerns Kano, we are also concerned about it, not only because we are neighbours, but because we are one family.

“I wish to inform you that all the royal houses in Zazzau Emirate are one family, in this entourage, there are representations from each of the houses.

Bayero prayed God to protect and guide the new emir to enable him to discharge his responsibilities effectively.

He admonished members of the council, District Heads and title holders to support the new emir to enable him to succeed.

“The new emir needs your support, not only for his position, but to protect the good image of the Zazzau Emirate.

“Whatever happened, be it good or bad, which we are not praying for the bad to happen, it will affect the entire emirate.” he said.

Bayero further assured of his council support to the Zazzau Emirate Council.
