A sermon delivered by the reinstated Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi, at the Muslim congregational prayers on Friday has generated controversy in the state.
Leading the prayers for the first time since his reinstatement on 24 May, Mr Sanusi, in a thinly veiled criticism of his rival, Aminu Ado Bayero, said it is wrong for a Muslim ruler not to accept whatever fate befalls him as the will of God,
Governor Abba Yusuf reinstated Mr Sanusi after the state House of Assembly controlled by the New Nigeria People Party (NNPP) repealed the state Emirate Council Law 2019, scrapping the five emirates system and dethroning their emirs.
