Happening now: After receiving official letter, Sanusi returns as Emir of Kano

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has presented the letter of reinstatement to 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.

Presenting the letter on Friday, the governor said, “We return Sanusi out of conviction that he was victimized in 2019.

“We also return him as the rightful Emir of Kano, to continue the good job he was doing for the good of Kano People.”

Speaking on the legislative process that led to Sanusi’s reinstatement, the governor insisted, “Once a Bill is signed into law, it has become law and nobody can change that.”

“Your reappointment was guided by the collective belief and judgement of your competency, dedication and zeal for the development of Kano State and it’s environs.

“As you ascend the throne of the Kano Emirate of Kano State, you should be guided in your conducts by the teachings of Islam which you are known for,” he said.
