Muhammadu Sanusi II, the once and now again Emir of Kano, is currently in the state to pick up his appointment letter, ignoring a court order that tried to put his reinstatement on hold.
On Thursday, the Kano State House of Assembly repealed the Kano Emirate Councils Bill 2019, signed into law by former Kano governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
The incumbent Governor of the state, Abba Kabir Yusuf assented to the new bill, which dissolves the four newly created Emirates – Gaya, Rano, Karaye, and Bichi, restoring Sanusi as the undisputed leader of the Kano Emirate.
A formal welcome-back ceremony, hosted by Governor Yusuf, is currently underway at the Kano government house. Sanusi is expected to receive his appointment letter at the gathering.
