Former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria Mr Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has been considered to return as the Emir of Kano.
This is as a result of the resolution reached at the Kano Assembly members in their Thursday siting.
The agreement signed by the majority of the members was to reinstall Sanusi as Emir while unseating the current Emir and also do away with the previous controversial law that established four new Emirates.
It can be recalled that Sanusi was dethroned as Emir of Kano by a Former Governor of Kano, Abdullahi Ganduje. The creation of the new emirates was widely seen as a political move to diminish the authority of the old Kano Emirate Council and reduce Sanusi’s relevance and influence in the state.
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, told 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.”
