The Governor of Kano state, Abba Yusuf has Reinstated Sanusi as the Emir of Kano state.
The appointment letter was issued on Friday, at the Kano State Government House.
On March 9, 2020, then Governor Abdullahi Ganduje dethroned Sanusi, citing insubordination and political interference. Aminu Ado-Bayero was appointed as his replacement.
Before ascending the throne, Sanusi had a distinguished career in banking, culminating in his appointment as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria in 2009.
Sanusi, the spiritual leader of the Tijanniyah Sufi order of Nigeria, began his reign on June 8, 2014, as the 14th Emir of Kano, succeeding his great-uncle, Ado Bayero.
He was appointed emir by former governor Rabiu Kwankwaso less than four months after his removal as the CBN governor by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
