Aminu Ado Bayero has been named the new emir of Kano,
replacing Muhammadu Sanusi, who was dethroned a few hours ago.
Abba Anwar, chief press secretary to Abdullahi Ganduje,
governor of Kano, disclosed this in a statement.
Ado Bayero was the emir of Bichi, one of the emirates that
Ganduje created after he fell out with Sanusi.
Sanusi had succeeded the father of his successor in 2014.
Ado Bayero has held different traditional titles in the last
three decades. In 1990, he was appointed Danmajen Kano; later he became
Danburan Kano, then Turakin Kano to Sarkin Dawakin Tsakar Gida and finally to
Wamban Kano.
When he emerged emir of Bichi, he promised to keep
supporting Sanusi, saying the former monarch could not feel offended over his
appointment.
“Sanusi is my brother. He has respect for me and I have
respect for him. I am from the royal family. When he was appointed emir, I was
among the first set of people that paid homage to him and I gave him my support
and I will continue to support him,” he had said at a press conference.
“So, because I am appointed emir, I don’t think he will feel
offended and I don’t think he will not support me to succeed in all my
undertakings. I have no grudges against him whatsoever and I don’t think he has
any against me.”
