Kano State House of Assembly on Thursday nullified the Emirates Council Law, resulting in the removal of all positions created under the previous law as outlined in the new legislation -All creation created by the previous law are no longer valid açcording to the new legislation.

Additionally, all district leaders promoted or assigned under the previous law are required to return to their former roles.

The Proposed Kano State Emirate Council Law 2024 passed by the Kano State House of Assembly on Thursday, May 23, 2024 technically dethroned Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero as Emir of Kano.

The law recognized the former Central Bank (CBN) Governor Sunusi Lamido Sunusi as the Emir of Kano.

Sunusi’s portrait has since been adorning the giant wall of Coronation Hall of Government House, Kano, while that of Aminu Bayero was since removed in fashion that signalled Sunusi’s return to the palace.

A prelude to Sunusi’s official reinstallation was the amendment of the Kano State Emirate Council Law 2024 (1441 A.H) by the House of Assembly after the bill scaled third reading on Thursday.

“All traditional office holders and title holders elevated or appointed to an office created under the repealed principal law, dated 5th December 2019 shall revert to their position where such position previously existed under recognized custom and traditions prior to the enactment of the repealed Principal Law dated 5th December 2019.

According to the Law, “The Governor shall take all necessary measures to restore the status of the Kano Emirate System to its positions.Prior to the enactment of the repealed Principal Law dated 5th December 2019”.

Governor Abba Kabiru Yusuf is expected to give assent to the proposed (amendment) law on Thursday before making announcements.
