JUST IN: EX-CBN Gov Sanusi Reinstated As Emir Of Kano
The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II, has been reinstated as the Emir of Kano.
This decision comes after the Kano State House of Assembly relieved his successor and four other emirs of their positions and dissolved the emirate kingdoms that were established by the previous administration following Sanusi’s removal.
The assembly’s pronouncement also included the removal of Sanusi’s replacement, Emir Bayero.
While there hasn’t been an official statement released yet, information from insiders suggests that this move by the state government, as understood by the assembly, may be linked to the controversies surrounding the dissolution of the former Emirates and the dethronement and exile of Sanusi from Kano.
“So certainly with the passage of the Bill, Sanusi automatically stands reinstated. No need for confirmation, the thing to is wait for the Governor to assent to it,” an inside source disclosed.
“The then restructuring of the Kano Emirate is seen as a political manoeuvre to diminish the influence of then Emir Sanusi II, a vocal critic of the former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje administration. The creation of the new emirates fragmented the authority of the old Kano Emirate Council, diluting its power and influence,” the source added.
