The Kano State Government has confirmed former Central Bank Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the new Emir of Kano.
Sanusi’s appointment, which was formally announced at the ante chamber of the Kano Government House by Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Rabiu Bichi, took immediate effect.
Bichi, who made the announcement in Kano State Government House on Sunday, added that the date of his turbanning would be announced in due course by the kingmakers as soon as arrangements were concluded.

The SSG explained that Sanusi, who holds the traditional title of Majen Kano, emerged as the unanimous choice of the Kingmakers, adding that the emergence of the new Kano emir was the will of the Almighty Allah.
The former CBN governor became the 14thEmir of Kano, succeeding Alhaji Abdullahi Ado Bayero, who died on Friday.
Bayero was believed to have died of heart attack about one month after returning from a medical trip to London.
Bichi was however silent on the fate of the three other shortlisted contenders to succeed the late Emir.

DeleteNO it should be your father.
DeleteDont say what you dont know. Sanusi is the legitimate next king of kano. Because they do two systems of leadership in the emirate..one house bayeros house and althe other sanusis house. If u do not know sanusis grand father was an emir before bayero so no after bayero its time for the sanusis... if not bayeros will be leading kano untill the end which is imposible.
DeleteWhy must it be his son? There is sanity in this Emir ship thing as explained by the first Abba, it's only PDP that can manipulate appointments.

ReplyDeleteTalk of the devil and he suddenly appears the man who ordered the beheading of an Igbo man who desecrated the Qur'an, is now an emir.
ReplyDeleteIgbos beware
Not only the Igbos, I repeat with VERY STRONG emphasis that anyone who commits blesphemy against our prophet or destroys the qur'an will be dealt with, with or without Sanusi whereever that person may be. Learn to respect our religion.

ReplyDeleteThe Sanusis and Bayeros are blood brothers. The past King before Late Ado was from the sanusi clan after he died the Late Ado ascended to the throne and ruled for over 50 years now that he is late the next to rule has to come from the sanusi clan and Sanusi Lamido was selected. The first son of the late Ado was named sanusi lamido in commemoration of the sanusis. What then is the problem? The are of the same family and have always supported each other those people fighting have nothing to do.
ReplyDeleteTell them, jobless people!!
