Sanusi Muhammadu has received his letter of appointment as the 16th Emir of Kano.

He received the letter at the Government House in Kano on Friday at an event attended by top government officials, traditional rulers, kingmakers, and other dignitaries.

“By the powers conferred on me by the Kano Emirate Council Law of 1984 and 2024, and supported by the recommendation of the kingmakers, I have the singular pleasure to confirm the reappointment of Muhammadu Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano and the head of the Kano Emirate Council,” the governor said.

His reinstatement is coming four years after the immediate past governor of the state Abdullahi Ganduje dethroned him.

However, Governor Yusuf signed the Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Bill 2024 into law, and Sanusi was reinstated as the Emir of Kano state on Thursday.
