Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has shelved aside the Federal High Court injunction, stopping the reinstatement and enthronement of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the Emir of Kano, by presenting his appointment letter to him.
The Governor presented the reinstatement and appointment letter to the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, at the Mini-Durbar ceremony that took place at the Africa House of the Kano State Government House on Friday, May 24.
Speaking while presenting the letter, Yusuf said, “Sanusi is a victim of the immediate past administration, who is now being restored to his rightful position to lead the people”.
It would be recalled that Sanusi was removed unceremoniously by former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, but an end came to the four years hiatus following the signing of the Kano State Emirates Councils (Repeal) Bill 2024 by Governor Yusuf.
