Kano State Assembly Dethrones Emir Bayero, reinstates Sanusi II
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II has been reinstated as the Emir of Kano.
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 controversial 2019 law.
According to our source, we have credible information that Sanusi II has been reinstated and is scheduled to arrive in Kano on Friday, despite the fact that this has not been publicly confirmed.
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 the meeting on Thursday, Lawan Hussaini Chediyar Yan Gurasa, the majority leader of the Kano State
House of Assembly and the sponsor of the amendment bill, disclosed to the media 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 governor is now authorized by law to convene the conventional kingmakers in order to select a new monarch.
The report also revealed that all of the district heads who were appointed or promoted under the statute that was abolished will now return to their old positions.
