Members of the ECOWAS Parliament visited the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, at his palace as part of the activities for the Second Extraordinary Session of the Sixth Legislature, held in Kano, North West Nigeria.
The delegation, led by the Acting Speaker of the ECOWAS Parliament and Nigeria’s Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, chose Kano for the session to bring the ECOWAS Parliament closer to the grassroots and foster interactions and business relations.
“This initiative aims to make the ECOWAS Parliament more accessible to the people and enhance unity as envisioned by our founding fathers,” Jibrin stated. He also emphasized the importance of the Emir as a custodian of tradition and religion, seeking his blessings and respect for the emirate.
During the visit, the Emir expressed gratitude for the parliamentarians’ visit and prayed for the success of the extraordinary session. He commended Senator Jibrin for facilitating the session in Kano and encouraged the parliamentarians to explore the state’s business opportunities. Additionally, the Emir prayed for peace and stability in Nigeria and the wider region.
Parliamentarians from 12 countries, including Nigeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cote d’Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo, are participating in this session of the parliament.
