Emir Sunusi
By Aminu Garko
Gov. Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has signed the newly passed Kano State Emirate (Repeal) bill into law, reinstating Muhammadu Sanusi II as the 16th Emir of Kano State.
The law abolishes the five emirates established by former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and paves the way for Sanusi’s return to the throne.
The governor issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the former emirs, including Aminu Ado Bayero, Nasir Ado Bayero, Kabiru Muhammad Inuwa, Ibrahim Abubakar II, and Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir, to vacate the palaces and hand over all emirate properties to the office of the Deputy Governor.
Yusuf expressed satisfaction that the new law will bring unity and foster sustainable socio-economic development in Kano State.
He emphasized that Sanusi’s return will propel peace and prosperity, restoring the revered legacy of the Kano emirate, which has stood the test of time for over a thousand years.
The governor urged the populace to continue supporting his administration in delivering infrastructural advancements that will propel Kano to greater heights. With the signing of the bill, Kano State is now under one emirate, marking a significant milestone in the state’s history.
