Sanusi Reinstated As Emir Of Kano, Bayero Dethroned

Sanusi Lamido 

Reinstated as Kano Emir, Sanusi II

Sanusi Lamido Kano's Emir, Sanusi II, has been reinstituted

This action came after the Kano State House of Assembly passed a resolution to remove the present Emir from office and dissolve the four new Emirates that the State had created as a result of a contentious 2019 law.

Sanusi II has been reinstated, albeit this has not been formally confirmed. According to LEADERSHIP, this is scheduled to happen in Kano on Friday.

As per reliable insider information, “So certainly with the passage of the Bill, Sanusi automatically stands reinstated. No need for confirmation, the thing to is wait for the Governor to assent to it.”

Restructuring the Kano Emirate at that time is thought to have been a political ploy to lessen the power of Emir Sanusi II, who was a strong opponent of the administration of former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje. The old Kano Emirate Council's power and influence were diminished as a result of the formation of the new emirates, which divided its authority.

Shortly after Thursday's session, Lawan Hussaini Chediyar Yan Gurasa, the majority leader of the Kano State House of Assembly and the bill's sponsor, disclosed to reporters that, “the bill has been sent to the governor for assent, now there is no longer an active Emir in Kano in all the five Emirates; Kano, Bichi, Gaya, Rano and Karaye. The law now provides the governor to call on the traditional kingmakers to choose a new king.”
