The 15th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, has called on Nigerian pilgrims currently performing the Hajj in Makkah to pray for lasting peace, unity, and economic prosperity in Kano State and Nigeria.

“We thank Almighty Allah for giving us the opportunity to witness this special day and celebrate another Eid-el-Kabir,” the Emir said while congratulating Muslims on the occasion.
Speaking on the importance of sacrifice during Eid-el-Kabir, Emir Bayero urged wealthy Muslims to support the less privileged by sharing meat from their sacrificial animals.
“Those blessed with the opportunity to slaughter animals should ensure that they give part of the meat to needy people in society,” he said.
He also prayed for those unable to perform the sacrifice this year, saying, “May Almighty Allah give them the chance to do so next year.”
The Emir further appealed to Nigerian pilgrims in Saudi Arabia to remember Kano State and the country in their prayers.
“We urge our pilgrims in Makkah to pray for Kano and Nigeria to continue to enjoy sustainable peace and economic progress. May Allah bring them back home safely,” he added.
Commenting on the 2027 general elections, the traditional ruler urged citizens to elect leaders with integrity and competence.
