The governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has rejoiced with the 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, on his “reinstatement” on the throne of the emirate.
Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf had earlier on Thursday reinstated Muhammadu Sanusi II to the throne, four years after he was deposed as the Emir of Kano.
Governor Yusuf made the announcement of the decision at around 5:16 pm on Thursday, in the Art Chamber of the Kano State Government House after signing the Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Bill 2024 into law
Neslson Chukwudi, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Fubara, in a congratulatory message on Thursday, stated that his principal received the report of the reinstatement of the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), with great excitement.
According to Fubara, it came at a time when Khalifa Sanusi II was in the state to add impetus to his administration’s initiative to reshape the economic trajectory of the State.
“I wish the 14th Emir of Kano a successful and fruitful reign that will bring progress and prosperity to the people of the State,” the governor said.
He also urged the “spiritual leader of the Tijanniyah Sufi order of Nigeria, Emir Muhammad Sanusi II, to lead the over 50 million adherents of the Sufi order in Nigeria with love, wisdom and courage while bringing lasting peace, justice, equity and fairness to all in the city of Kano.”
Earlier on Thursday, the Kano State House of Assembly repealed the Kano State Emirs (Appointment and Deposition) Law but Governor Abba Yusuf is yet to sign the repealed law.
