Muhammadu Sanusi made First Appointment Despite Trailing Emir Tussle

The 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II has on Thursday made his first appointment as the controversy trailing Kano Emirate tussle continues.

This was coming barely a week after he was reinstalled as the Emir.

Sanusi, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), approved the appointment of a new Ward Head of Kofar Mazugal, Hamisu Sani in the Dala Local Government area of the state.

The Emir called on the new ward Head to ensure peaceful coexistence among the subjects of the area and contribute his quota towards the development of the state as a whole.

Earlier, district heads and personalities such as delegations from religious and market bodies paid homage on Emir Sanusi at the palace.

The delegation includes Ansarulddeen Tijjanniya sect and Traders from Kano popular textile market (Kantin Kwari) as well as the commodities market (Singer market) among others.

Recall that Sanusi II was reinstalled as the Emir of Kano last Thursday after the Kano State House of Assembly and Governor Abba Yusuf repealed and accented the Kano State Emirates Councils (Repeal) Bill 2024 into law.

The amended law dissolved the five Emirate Councils and removed the emirs appointed by former governor Ganduje in 2019, paving the way for the re-enthronement of Sanusi.

The dethroned Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero refused to vacate the throne while other emirates compiled.

While Sanusi moved to Gidan Dabo, the main residence of the Emir of Kano, after he was reinstated by Governor Abba Yusuf on Friday, Ado Bayero, who returned to the state in the company of a team of security personnel on Saturday morning made his way into the Nasarawa Palace of the Kano Emirate.
