Unconfirmed newspaper’s report said Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II has been reinstated as the Emir of Kano.
This decision the Leadership newspaper said followed the Kano State House of Assembly’s resolution to dethrone the current Emir and also dismantle the four new Emirates in the State established under a controversial 2019 law.
According to the Newspaper ìt stated that though it had not been officially announced that it had it on good authority that Sanusi II had been reinstated, and expected in Kano on Friday 24 May 2024.
According to credible inside sourcesthe Leadership further stated that “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.”
The then restructuring of the Kano Emirate is seen as a political manoeuvre to diminish the influence of then Emir Sanusi II, a vocal critic of the former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje administration. The creation of the new emirates fragmented the authority of the old Kano Emirate Council, diluting its power and influence.
