14Th Emir Of Kano News

Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje,Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf,Kano Central Mosque

Four years after he was deposed as the 14th Emir of Kano and banished to Nasarawa State, Mother Luck, yesterday smiled on Muhammad Lamido

• Sanusi may lead Jumat prayer today at Kano Central Mosque • Ganduje keeps mum, cancels trip to Kano Sanusi, as the state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, reinstated him to the office.

The development, however, heightened tension in the Kano metropolis and its environs over the eventual fate of the already-established Emirates and their teeming supporters. He said that the return of Muhammad Sanusi II back on the throne would propel peace and prosperity, adding that the repeal of the council law was in realisation of his campaign commitments to restore the lost glory of the state and its rich cultural heritage and restoration of the revered legacy of the Kano emirate, which has “withstood the test of time of over a thousand years. ”

Sanusi arrived at the Obi Wali International Conference Centre, Port Harcourt about 11.30 am yesterday in the full trappings of the Kano Emirate accompanied by assistants. It was also gathered that he almost cancelled the trip to Rivers State, where he spent about an hour, but because he had given the governor his word that he would grace the event to speak.

The Assembly also adopted a motion to create a new second-class emirate council in the state, signalling a restructuring of the traditional institutions to better align with the state’s cultural and administrative goals. He said: “It is important for all parties involved to approach this matter with the utmost care and professionalism, keeping in mind the potential consequences of their actions. Rash decisions and inflammatory statements can only serve to worsen the situation and jeopardize the peace and stability of the state.”

The former Kano State Governor, who was chauffeur-driven in his official jeep to the party secretariat looked unperturbed as he acknowledged cheers from party faithful while on his way to his office. He said, “The return of Emir Sanusi to the throne could create happiness and agony to our people. However, the governor is not acting on his own. He is acting on the orders of his godfather, Kwankwaso.

Ibrahim, however, cautioned those who believed Governor Yusuf’s action was executed to satisfy the political interest of his political godfather Kwankwaso to simply settle the score with erstwhile Ganduje.
