Four years after being removed from office by former governor Abdullahi Ganduje, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II was reinstated as the Emir of Kano on Friday by Governor Abba Kabir.
This was announced by the Senior Special Assistant on Digital Media to the state governor, Kwankwason Tuwita on X. He also shared a video of the coronation ceremony.
“Everything is ready for the presentation of appointment letter to His Highness the Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II CO,” the governor’s assistant had previously written.
It was reported that Sanusi landed in Kano late on Thursday, without much fanfare.
He is expected to lead the Jumu’at (Friday) prayers at the Kano Central Mosque located at the palace in Kofar Kudu.
Agnesisikablog had reported how Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf on Thursday officially approved the reappointment of Lamido Sanusi as the Emir of Kano after he assented to a newly passed bill that abrogated four emirates created in addition to the Emir of Kano.
The emirates were created under a controversial law in 2019 by the administration of former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
“I have approved the reappointment of Khalipha Muhammadu Sanusi II as the emir of Kano,” the Governor was quoted by his aide.
The governor also issued a 48-hour notice to all the deposed Emirs to vacate their palaces.
It is our prayer that your tenure will foster peace, unity and prosperity for the entire kano Kingdom.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
