Former Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has publicly referred to Muhammad Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano.

Ganduje made the remark at the Government House, Kano, on Tuesday during the swearing-in of the new Deputy Governor, Murtala Sule Garo.

While speaking, he greeted Sanusi and recognised him as chairman of the Kano State Council of Emirs.

The development is considered significant, as it marks the first time Ganduje has openly acknowledged Sanusi in that role since removing him as Emir in 2020 while serving as governor.

Sanusi was later reinstated following the election of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
