Bisiologe The Kano State House of Assembly has dethroned five Emirs and abolished the five Emirates in the state.
The development followed a special session held by the lawmakers on the floor of the house presided over by the speaker, RT. Hon. Jibrin Falgore.
According to credible inside sources, “So certainly with the passage of the Bill, Sanusi Lamido automatically stands reinstated.
The then restructuring of the Kano Emirate is seen as a political manoeuvre to diminish the influence of then Emir Sanusi II, a vocal critic of the former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje administration.
The creation of the new emirates fragmented the authority of the old Kano Emirate Council, diluting its power and influence.
Meanwhile, the Majority Leader of the Kano State House of Assembly, Lawan Hussaini Chediyar Yan Gurasa, who sponsored the Amendment Bill, shortly after Thursday’s session, revealed to journalists that, “the bill has been sent to the governor for assent, now there is no longer an active Emir in Kano in all the five Emirates; Kano, Bichi, Gaya, Rano and Karaye. The law now provides the governor to call on the traditional kingmakers to choose a new king.”
