One Coincidence about Emir of Bichi, HRH share matter of pride with his grandfather late Kano Amir Abdullahi Bayero before becoming the Emir, in the same way, he did.
Late Sarki Alhaji he had been district head of Bichi and also a ciroman Kano and his late uncle serves as Ciroma.HRH Nasiru Ado Bayero, the erstwhile Ciroman Kano was appointed the 2nd Fulani emir of Bichi following the deposition of Muhammadu Sanusi II.
In a remarkable concurrence of events, history was made in old Kano’s emirate last year when two of the sons of our revered late Emir Alhaji Ado Bayero, became First Class Emirs of Kano and Bichi Emirates .respectively. Both of them born by the same mother and father. This is the first time such historical events happened in the Kano Traditional institution of over 1000 years.
As a Kano prince, one of his heart desires is to ascend the throne of his forefathers at Gidan Dabo but, Allah’s own will made him the second Bichi Emir of Fulani dynasty. His Royal Highness emir of Bichi is the third son of Emir of Kano, late Alhaji (Dr.) Ado Abdullahi Bayero and the first child born at the official residence of Kano Emirate House known as Gidan Dabo on 2nd February 1964.

Peoples of the emirate have confidence that he will exhibit the same startling leadership qualities which his late father demonstrated throughout his reign as Emir of Kano. As late Alhaji Ado Bayero remain trustworthy and custodian’s of traditional value as well as champion of both Islamic and Western education. As Throughout reign of his late father was known as as the Voice of voiceless of his subjects, the defender of defenseless. As the second Emir of the emirate he should continue to demonstrate his vociferous stand against injustice and insecurity in his emirates, Kano and the country at large. These are the ingredients that can propel the emirates to unprecedented development in future.

He is also a graduate of the Executive Programme of the prestigious Harvard Business School as well as obtaining certificate in German Language. He has had extensive experience working with Continental Merchant Bank Nigeria; Coastal Corporation (Oil and Gas) Houston, Texas and Hamlet Investment Inc. London, UK.
