Timeline

1930

Ado Bayero CFR, LLD, JP (25 July 1930 – 6 June 2014) was the Emir of Kano from 1963 to 2014.

Ado Bayero was born on 25 July 1930 into the royal family of the Fulani Sullubawa clan that has ruled over the Emirate of Kano since 1819.

His father was Abdullahi Bayero and his mother was Hajiya Hasiya.

He was the eleventh child of his father and the second of his mother.

At the age of seven, he was sent to live with Maikano Zagi.

His father reigned for 27 years.

1952

He attended Zaria Clerical College in 1952.

1953

Muhammadu Sanusi I who was Ado Bayero's half brother ruled after their father from 1953 to 1963.

1956

In 1956, he contested and won the regional election in Kano city as a member of the Northern People's Congress (NPC).

However, he only spent about a year as a member of the Northern House of Assembly as he was pressured to resign his position, partly due to his 'modern views'.

Shortly after his resignation, he was appointed chief of the Kano Native Authority Police.

During which he tried to minimize the practice of briefly detaining individuals and political opponents on the orders of powerful individuals in Kano.

1962

In late 1962, he was appointed Nigeria's Ambassador to Senegal, a position he held until his appointment as emir.

1963

Following his dethronement in 1963, Muhammadu Inuwa ascended the throne for three months.

Bayero started his education in Kano studying Islam, after which he attended Kano Middle School (Rumfa College, Kano).

He spent around three years at the Kano School for Arabic Studies but did not complete the course.

After the death of Emir Muhammadu Inuwa who ruled for three months only, Ado Bayero was crowned the Emir of Kano on October 22, 1963, becoming the 13th Fulani Emir of Kano and the 56th ruler of Kano.

Bayero became emir during the first republic, at a time when Nigeria was going through rapid social and political changes and regional, sub-regional and ethnic discord was increasing.

In his first few years, two pro-Kano political movements gained support among some Kano elites.

The Kano People's Party emerged during the reign of Muhammadu Inuwa and supported the deposed Emir Sanusi, but it soon evaporated.

1965

The Kano State Movement emerged towards the end of 1965 and favored more economic autonomy for the province.

1966

The death in 1966 of many political agitators from northern Nigeria, and the subsequent establishment of a unitary state, consolidated a united front in the northern region but also resulted in a spate of violence there, including in Kano.

Bayero's admirers credit him with bringing calm and stability during this and later crises in Kano.

The constitutional powers of the emir were whittled down by the military regimes between 1966 and 1979.

1968

The Native Authority Police and Prisons Department was abolished, the emir's judicial council was superseded by another body, and local government reforms in 1968, 1972, and 1976 reduced the powers of the emir.

During the second republic, he witnessed hostilities from the People's Redemption Party led government of Abubakar Rimi.

1981

Bayero's Palace plays host to official visits by many government personnel and foreigners, but in 1981 Governor Abubakar Rimi restricted traditional homage paid by village heads to Ado Bayero and excised some domains from his emirate.

1984

In 1984, a travel ban was placed on the emir and his friend Okunade Sijuwade.

Although the military are sometimes seen as relying on traditional rulers for support, many military regimes in the past reduced the powers of traditional rulers such as Bayero.

As emir, he became a patron of Islamic scholarship and embraced Western education as a means to succeed in a modern Nigeria.

He was a vocal critic of the terrorist group Boko Haram and strongly opposed their campaign against western education.

2013

On 19 January 2013, he survived an assassination attempt blamed on the Islamist group which left two of his sons injured and his driver and bodyguard dead, among others.

A prime suspect confessed to have participated in the attack on the Emir's motorcade and so many other co-ordinated attacks in the state which led to the arrest of six others.

2014

On 6 June 2014, after fifty-one years on the throne, Ado Bayero died in his palace Gidan Rumfa.

A bitter succession struggle over who'd succeed him emerged within the royal family between the Bayero and Sanusi houses.

His eldest son and heir, Sanusi Ado Bayero was considered the natural successor and initial reports announced him as Emir.

On 8 June 2014, his grand nephew Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was crowned Emir of Kano.

2015

His son, Sanusi Ado in protest decided to leave Kano and in 2015, he was stripped of all his titles, after refusing to pay allegiance to Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

Bayero was the longest-serving emir in Kano's history.
