Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has announced the appointment of Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi as the new Emir of Kano.
He made the announcement after signing the new emirate council law at Government House, Kano, on Thursday
The governor signed the law at exactly 5:10pm alongside his deputy, the Speaker of the State Assembly and other principal officers in the government.
Also, Governor Yusuf of Kano State asked the Emirs who were removed following the return of Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi as Emir of Kano to leave the palaces within the next 48 hours.
Five emirs appointed by former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje are the ones mainly affected by the order.
Ganduje had split Kano emirate into five and appointed an emir for each.
Among the newly created Emirates were Karaye, Gaya, Bichi and Rano.
But the Kano House of Assembly controlled by the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) had repealed the law which Ganduje used to make the changes.
The lawmakers had transmitted their bill to Governor Yusuf who signed it into law on Thursday evening.
Addressing a media briefing after signing the law, Governor Yusuf directed the sacked monarchs to vacate official residences and palaces and hand over to the Commissioner of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs within two days.
Former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had dethroned Sanusi in 2020 after a personal rift.
