Kano Gov Abba Yusuf reinstates Sanusi Lamido as Emir
The Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State, has reinstated Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi as the Emir of Kano.
The Informant247 gathered that the governor announced this after signing the new emirate council law at Government House, Kano, on Thursday at exactly 5:10 pm alongside his deputy, the Speaker of the State Assembly and other principal officers in his administration.
It would be recalled that the former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had dethroned Sanusi in 2020 after a personal rift.
Ganduje had split the Kano emirate into five. – Kano, Bichi, Rano, Gaya and Karaye before dethroning Sanusi.
However, the Kano state House of Assembly on Thursday repealed the law, which stated that all offices created under the repealed law have been dissolved, and district heads appointed or elevated under the law are to revert to their former positions.
The Commissioner for Local Government shall oversee all transitional arrangements, including how to deal with the assets and liabilities of the abolished Emirates and the new structures created under the repealed Principal Law dated 5th December 2019.
Similarly, all the affected Emirs of the five Emirates have been directed to hand over properties in their possession to the Commissioner of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
