The Olubadan Palace in a statement by the Monarch’s Media Aide, Oladele Ogunsola, the conferment was sequel to the recommendation made by the Oba Yoruba Kano, Alhaji Murtala Alimi Otisese (Adetimirin-1) for the Kano state helmsman and his wife to appreciate them for making Kano city and the entire state a home for both natives and non-natives.

According to the recommendation, the conferment of the titles on the Kano state first couple “will be a reward for a man who has been very compassionate to us as a people and who believes that any Nigerian can stay and work in any part of the country without molestation or denial of basic things of life”.

“The conferment will not only further cement the bond of friendship that has long existed between the Ibadan and Kano people, it will also go a long way in maintaining handshake across the Niger as well as engender the much sought after unity which has turned fragile over the years”, Oba Yoruba Kano added.
