Yusuf announced the decision on Thursday after signing the Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Bill 2024 into law.
“With the full support of the kingmakers, I have approved the reappointment of Malam Sanusi Lamido,” Abba said.
The new law replaces the Kano State Emirates Council Law, 2019, and dissolves the emirate councils created by former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
By the law, Ganduje had created the emirates of Karaye, Bichi, Rano, and Gaya, in addition to Kano in December 2019, and also dethroned Sanusi II after a long-running dispute in March 2020.
You will recall that Earlier today, Thursday, the state assembly had passed the repeal into law during plenary .
