Dethroned Emir, Sanusi invited for Kano Gov-elect’s inauguration

Kano State Governor-elect, Abba Yusuf, has invited the 14th Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammad Sanusi II, to his swearing-in slated for May 29, 2023.

The invitation comes amid speculation that the incoming administration may reinstate the deposed monarch by removing the current Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero.

An invitation letter personally signed by Yusuf and dated May 26, 2023, stated that the event would be held at Sani Abacha Stadium, Kofa Mata, at 9.00 a.m.

It read, “As you are aware, the 2023 election into the office of the governor was conducted in Kano State on March 18, 2023, to which, by the Grace of Almighty Allah SWT, I emerged as the winner and subsequently issued a certificate of return by the Independent National Electoral Commission. It is, therefore, my great pleasure to invite you to my swearing-in ceremony along with my deputy, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo.

“It is my belief that your presence will not only significantly add colour to this important event, but also serve as a major boost and support to us as we embark on a journey that aims at restoring the lost glory and reputation of our dear state by returning it to the path of progress and development in all fields of human endeavour, in sha Allah.

‘’While anticipating your positive response and acceptance to grace the important event. Accept the assurance of my highest regards and consideration, please.”
