Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has congratulated Muhammad Sanusi II on his “reinstatement” as the 14th Emir of Kano. Fubara’s spokesman, Nelson Chukwudi, conveyed the governor’s congratulatory message in a statement on Thursday.
The governor received the news of Sanusi’s reinstatement with great excitement, particularly since Sanusi was in Rivers State to support Fubara’s administration’s economic initiatives. Fubara urged Sanusi to lead the Tijanniyah Sufi order with love, wisdom, and courage, bringing peace, justice, and prosperity to Kano.
The Kano State House of Assembly repealed the Kano State Emirs (Appointment and Deposition) Law earlier on Thursday, but Governor Abba Yusuf is yet to sign the repealed law.
