## Biography in the Kano Chronicle

Below is a biography of Dauda Abasama II from Palmer's 1908 English translation of the Kano Chronicle.

   The 42nd Sarki was Dauda Abasama, the son of Yaji. His mother’s name was Baiwa.
   He was a Sarki of good character, reticent and wise, generous and popular. He was prudent and at the same time warlike, and kept his word. He had a mind above favouritism or revenge, and took the Galadima Makarna’s advice in everything. The Galadima Makama was like a Sarki, while Dauda was like his Wazir, because he was so forbearing. There was no war in his reign or rebellion.
   He ruled Kano 5 years and 4 months.
