Former Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has been reinstated as the Emir of Kano by Governor Abba Yusuf. This decision comes after the Kano House of Assembly dissolved the four emirates that were installed by Yusuf’s predecessor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
Sanusi was removed from the position of Emir of Kano by Ganduje in March 2020, leading to widespread controversy and criticism. Now, with his reinstatement, there is expected to be a significant shift in the traditional leadership of the Kano Emirate.
The sacking of the four emirs appointed by Ganduje marks a major political move by Governor Abba Yusuf and signals a return to the leadership structure that was in place before Ganduje’s controversial appointments.
More details on this developing story will be provided as they become available.
