Palace agog as Emir Sanusi meets with district heads
Muhammadu Sanusi, Emir of Kano, was serenaded with chants of adulation and jubilation when he ventured outdoors for the main palace on Sunday.
Sanusi rode on a royal horse and gesticulated at the crowd who responded with: “You’re the only Emir we know.”
He also met with some district heads, council members, vigilantes, women group and well wishers who were at the palace to pay homage.
The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) made a comeback as Emir on Thursday after Abba Yusuf, governor of Kano, signed the new Kano Emirate Council Law.
The law repealed the 2019 version, which balkanised the Kano emirate into five jurisdictions and was relied upon to depose Sanusi as Emir in 2020.
Despite Sanusi’s reinstatement, some Kano residents are still pledging fealty to Aminu Bayero, the deposed Emir.
See some pictures from Sanusi’s day in the sun below.
