UPDATE: KANO GOVERNOR ANNOUNCES SANUSI’S REINSTATEMENT AS EMIR
On Thursday evening, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State, announced the reinstatement of Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II as the 14th Emir of Kano.
In a statement, Yusuf said “After signing the new Kano emirate council law at Government House, Kano, today. I hereby announce the reinstatement of HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano State. – AKY”
Additionally, the governor directed the five former emirs 48 hours to vacate all official residences and hand over former emirate properties to the Commissioner of Local Governments.
Former governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, had on December 5, 2019 established Bichi, Gaya, Karaye and Rano emirates from the then Kano Emirate.
Ganduje assented to an amendment to law on October 14, 2020, and signed another amendment on April 11, 2023.
Section 3(1) of the law established five distinct emirates. They include Kano, Bichi, Rano, Gaya and Karaye.
Kano and Karaye have eight local government areas of jurisdiction each, while Bichi and Gaya emirates share nine local government areas of jurisdiction each.
Meanwhile, Rano Emirate enjoys jurisdiction over 10 local government areas out of the 44 local councils in the state.
However, after assessing the emirates, Kano State House of Assembly, on Thursday, dethroned the five emirs and abolished the five emirates in the state
