Hours after removing Emir Muhammadu Sanusi ll as the emir of
Kano, the Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has announced Alhaji
Aminu Ado Bayero as the new emir.
Announcing the new emir at the government house on Monday in
the presence of the four kingmakers, Secretary to the State Government (SSG),
Usman Alhaji said: "Following the resolution of the State Executive
Council at its emergency meeting, I have been directed by Governor Ganduje,
based on the provision of section 11 (1) of the Kano State Emirate Law 2019,
and on the recommendation of the executive council to announce Alhaji Aminu Ado
Bayero, the former Emir of Bichi as the new Emir of Kano (the 15th emir of Kano)."
Before his appointment, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero was the emir
of the newly created emirate of Bichi.
However, the dethroned Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi ll, has
been relocated to Nasarawa State, it was reliably gathered.
It was further gathered that the deposed emir relocated to a
reserved residence at Keana Local Government Area in Nasarawa State and the
emir of Lafia and other dignitaries are currently awaiting his arrival.
It was learnt that before the embattled emir was taken away
amidst tight security, he was reportedly put under house arrest with the palace
sealed off by heavily armed security agents.
Recall that Ganduje announced the removal of the former
Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) over alleged disrespect to
constituted authorities, an act contrary to part 3, section 13 of the Kano
State Emirate Law 2019.
