The Reinstatement

Muhammadu Sanusi II was reinstated as the Emir of Kano by Governor Abba Yusuf, four years after his deposition. This move has been seen as a rectification of the controversial policies of the previous government and a victory for those who opposed his dethronement.

What You Should Know

What Led to Sanusi’s Initial Deposition?

Sanusi was deposed in March 2020 due to a fallout with the then Governor Abdullahi Ganduje. The conflict was rooted in political disagreements and Sanusi’s criticism of the state government’s policies.

How Was Sanusi Reinstated?

Governor Abba Yusuf signed the Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Bill 2024 into law, which effectively dissolved the emirate council system established by the former governor and reinstated the historic Kano Emirate as a single entity.

What Happens to the Emirs Appointed by Ganduje?

The five emirs appointed by Ganduje are to vacate their seats within 48 hours after Sanusi’s restoration. All offices created under the repealed law have been dissolved, and district heads appointed or elevated under the previous legislation are to revert to their former positions.

What Has Been the Public Reaction?

The public reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with many viewing Sanusi’s return as a restoration of tradition and a step towards political reconciliation.

What Does This Mean for Kano’s Future?

Sanusi’s return is expected to open a new chapter for the traditional leadership in Kano. His respected status as an economist and former Central Bank Governor, coupled with his popularity, suggests a promising future for the region.
