Former Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, on Tuesday publicly recognised Muhammadu Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano and Chairman of the Kano State Council of Chiefs.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

reports that Ganduje made the recognition during the swearing-in ceremony of the new Deputy Governor of Kano State, Murtala Sule Garo, held at the Government House in Kano.

While speaking at the event, the former governor greeted Sanusi and addressed him with his full traditional title, a gesture that attracted loud applause from dignitaries and guests present.

The development marks the first time Ganduje has openly acknowledged Sanusi in that role since their widely reported political fallout.

In 2020, during his tenure as governor, Ganduje deposed Sanusi as Emir of Kano. However, Governor Abba Yusuf later reinstated Sanusi and removed Aminu Ado Bayero, who had been installed following Sanusi’s removal.

Ado Bayero, however, refused to vacate the throne, with reports suggesting backing from Ganduje and the Federal Government, while the matter remains before the courts.

The dispute over the Kano Emirate has continued to fuel tension in the state, at times prompting security interventions during traditional events.

The situation appeared to shift after Governor Yusuf’s reported defection to the All Progressives Congress months ago.

Following that, Sanusi was allowed to conduct the Sallah Durbar celebration, unlike previous years when police had restricted the event due to earlier clashes and violence linked to the festivities.
