Sanusi Reinstated As Emir Of Kano

Around 5:16 p.m. on Thursday, the governor announced, “With the full support of the kingmakers, I have approved the reappointment of Mallam Sanusi Lamido.” This was met with applause in the Kano State Government House’s Art Chamber.

Before ascending to the throne, Emir Sanusi II—a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria—was known as Lamido Sanusi.
