Sanusi Lamido II reinstated as Kano Emir

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II has been reinstituted 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 contentious 2019 law. Sanusi II has been reinstated, albeit this has not been formally confirmed. 

This is scheduled to happen in Kano on Friday.

According to credible inside sources, “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.

Following Thursday's session, Lawan Hussaini Chediyar Yan Gurasa, the majority leader of the Kano State House of Assembly and the bill's sponsor, told reporters that the bill had been sent to the governor for assent and that there was no longer an active emir in Kano in any of the five Emirates—Kano, Bichi, Gaya, Rano, and Karaye. The governor is now authorised by law to convene the conventional kingmakers in order to select a new monarch.
