Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II has been reinstated as the Emir of Kano, according to a reliable source. This development follows the Kano State House of Assembly’s resolution to dethrone the current Emir, Aminu Ado-Bayero, and abolish the four new Emirates created in 2019.
Although an official announcement is yet to be made, sources close to the matter have confirmed that Sanusi II’s reinstatement is a done deal. He is expected to return to Kano on Friday, May 24, to resume his duties as the Emir.
According to a source, “With the passage of the Bill, Sanusi automatically stands reinstated. There’s no need for confirmation; we’re just waiting for the Governor’s assent.”
This development marks a significant reversal of the state government’s decision on March 9, 2020, when Sanusi was dethroned and replaced by Aminu Ado-Bayero, who was transferred from the Bichi Emirate to Kano.
The reinstatement of Sanusi II is a major victory for his supporters and a testament to the power of democracy and the rule of law. As the news spreads, Kano residents are eagerly awaiting the official announcement and the return of their beloved Emir.
