The governor of Kano State, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje OFR, is set to name a new emir for Kano emirate after deposing Muhammadu Sansui II.
It was gathered that the governor will announce the new emir before the close of work today.
According to a top security officer, who attended an emergency security meeting summoned by the governor, the new emir will emerge today.
The state Commissioner of Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, also confirmed that the new emir would be announced today.
“The new emir will emerge today, as the governor is ready to announce his name in the next one hour,” he said.
Another source close to the government confided in our correspondent that the present District Head of Nassarawa, Alhaji Nasiru Ado Bayeo may likely be appointed the new emir of Kano state.
The state government declared that Ganduje, approved the immediate dethronement of Sanusi because of “his (Emir) total disrespect to lawful instructions from the office of the State Governor and other lawful authorities, including his persistent refusal to attend official meetings and programmes organised by the Government without any lawful justification which amount to total insubordination”.
