- * As Rivers Gov, Simi Fubara, Charges Him To Rule With Fear of God
By Our Reporter
Dethroned royal father, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II, has been reinstated as the Emir of Kano.
This decision followed the Kano State House of Assembly’s resolution to dethrone the current Emir Bayero and also dismantle the four new Emirates in the state established under a controversial 2019 law.
Sanusi II is expected in Kano tomorrow, 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.”
LEADERSHIP has it on good authority that Sanusi II has been reinstated, and is expected in Kano on Friday.
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.
Meanwhile, the Majority Leader of the Kano State House of Assembly, Lawan Hussaini Chediyar Yan Gurasa, who sponsored the Amendment Bill, shortly after Thursday’s session, revealed to journalists that, “the bill has been sent to the governor for assent, now there is no longer an active Emir in Kano in all the five Emirates; Kano, Bichi, Gaya, Rano and Karaye. The law now provides the governor to call on the traditional kingmakers to choose a new king.”
Our correspondent also reports that all the district heads elevated or appointed under the repealed law are to revert to their previous positions.
Congratulatory messages has continued to pour in for the reinstalled Serikin Kano (Emir of Kano) who was removed from the throne during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has congratulated His Royal Highness, Muhammad Sanusi II on his reinstatement as the 14th Emir of Kano.
Governor Fubara said that he received the news of the reinstatement of the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), with great excitement, particularly coming at a time Khalifa Sanusi II was in the State to add impetus to his administration's initiative to reshape the economic trajectory of the State.
He urged the spiritual leader of the Tijanniyah Sufi order of Nigeria, Emir Muhammad Sanusi II, to lead the over 50 million adherents of the Sufi order in Nigeria with love, wisdom and courage while bringing lasting peace, justice, equity and fairness to all in the city of Kano.
He wished the 14th Emir of Kano a successful and fruitful reign that will bring progress and prosperity to the people of the State. (Additional Reports from LEADERSHIP). NNL.
