Reactions have continued to trail the reinstatement of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the Emir of Kano four years after ex-Governor Abdullahi Ganduje deposed him.
Governor Abba Yusuf announced the decision on Thursday after signing the Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Bill 2024 into law.
The new law replaces the Kano State Emirates Council Law, 2019, and dissolves the emirate councils created by former Governor Ganduje.
See the tweet showing the governor signing the Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Bill 2024 into law:

You people need to stop politicizing this age-long traditional institution with your dirty politics.

I opposed Ganduje’s maadn3ss then because of my love for Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, I am opposing you now for towing the same path. Why on earth will Emir Aminu Ado Bayero be removed? What if APC is elected in the future and re-removed the reinstated king, will that not amount to…

The entire politicization of this stool is regrettable.
I wish Kano the best.

Congratulations to HRH Sanusi ll Emir of Kano..— SwtAngel1 (@NkyEzenwa) May 23, 2024
It was the right thing to do and please is there a way for another bill that would stop any Government in kano state from removing the first class Emir? That seat or throne must be kept sacred just like how other cultures do.

It’s not today Kano started experiencing the Emir dethroning and reinstatement issue. Be cautious of your opinion, Kano emirate matter has nothing to do with politics.
It’s indivi
