Amid crisis on who is the authentic emir of Kano, the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, on Thursday appointed Hamisu Sani as the new Ward Head of Kofar Mazugal in Dala Local Government area.

It is the first appointment made by the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) since his reinstatement under the resistance of the dethroned 15th emir of Kano, Aminu Bayero.

Emir Sanusi called on the new ward Head to ensure peaceful coexistence among the subjects of the area and contribute his quota towards the development of the state as a whole.

As Sanusi consolidate his hold on the throne, district heads and personalities such as delegations from religious and market bodies have been paying homage at the palace to pay allegiance.

The delegation includes Ansaruddeen Tijjanniya sect and traders from Kano popular textile market (Kantin Kwari) as well as the commodities market (Singer market) among others.

Sanusi was reinstalled as the 16th Emir of Kano last Thursday and given letter of reappointment after the State Assembly and Governor Abba Yusuf repealed and assented to the Kano State Emirates Councils (Repealed) Bill 2024 into law.

Shortly after, the dethroned emir, Bayero, returned to the state to reclaim his position leading to a stalemate that would be decided by the court.

END.
