Just in: Sanusi reinstated as Emir of Kano

In March 2020, Abdullahi Ganduje, former governor of Kano, deposed Sanusi as Emir of Kano “for total disrespect to lawful instructions from the office of the governor”.

Abba Yusuf, governor of Kano, has signed the bill abolishing the five emirates of the state.

Yusuf signed the bill at the government house on Thursday — the same day it was passed by the state house of assembly.
