In a surprising turn of events, Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has reinstated Muhammadu Sanusi II to the revered position of Emir of Kano, four years after his controversial deposition.
Sanusi, a former central bank governor, was ousted from the throne in 2020 by the previous administration, sparking widespread debate and criticism.
“With the full support of the kingmakers, I have approved the reappointment of Malam Sanusi Lamido,” the governor said to cheers at the Art Chamber of the Kano State Government House around 5:16 pm on Thursday.
Following the signing of the Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Bill 2024 into law, the governor promptly announced the decision.
This new legislation supersedes the previous Kano State Emirates Council Law of 2019, effectively dissolving the emirate councils established by Governor Abba Yusuf’s predecessor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
Under the former law, Ganduje had orchestrated the division of the Kano Emirate into five entities in December 2019, resulting in the removal of the 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, on March 9, 2020.
The emirates established during Ganduje’s tenure include Karaye, Bichi, Rano, and Gaya, in addition to the original Kano Emirate.
