Legit.ng reported that the Kano state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, reinstated Sanusi II as the new Emir of Kano in a colourful ceremony on Friday, May 24.
Sanusi was dethroned by the immediate past administration of Abdullahi Ganduje, who is the current national chairman of Nigeria’s ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Sanusi, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), was ousted in 2020 for showing “insubordination” to state authorities at the time.
