Governor Abba Yusuf has presented a letter of appointment to Muhammadu Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano.
The event took place at the Arican House of the State Government House on Friday.
The presentation of the letter of appointment is coming after a Federal High Court sitting at the State capital issued an injunction stopping the action.
ASHENEWS recalls that on Thursday, May 23, 2024, the Kano State House of Assembly passed the Kano Emirates Council Law (Repeal Bill) 2024 after scaling 3rd reading, abrogating the establishment of five new Emirates in the state.
In the new law, all offices established under the repealed law were set aside all district heads elevated or appointed under the repealed law are to revert to their previous positions.
The State Emirates Council (Amendment number 2) Law, 2024, was sponsored by the Majority Leader and member representing the Dala Constituency, Lawan Hussaini Chediyar Yan Gurasa.
