Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has been reinstated as the Emir of Kano, according to reports emerging from Kano State.
NaijaOnPoint.com.ng (NOP) reports this is coming after the Kano State House of Assembly abolished a 2019 law creating four additional Emirate Councils, bringing the number of First Class Emirs in the State to five.
The State House of Assembly dismantled the five Emirate Councils and dethroned the current Emirs enthroned by the controversial 2019 law.
Though Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has not been officially pronounced as Emir, according to credible inside sources, he is expected to be in Kano by Friday.
“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,” a source told Leadership.
Recall that the immediate past administration of Dr Abdullahi Ganduje in May 2019, created Rano, Karaye, Bichi and Gaya emirates in addition to the Kano Emirate.
