Former Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has for the first time publicly recognised Muhammadu Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano since his removal from the throne in 2020.
Ganduje made the acknowledgement on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at the Government House, Kano, during the swearing-in ceremony of the new Deputy Governor, Murtala Sule Garo.
While addressing the gathering, Ganduje greeted Sanusi and referred to him as the Chairman of the Kano State Council of Emirs.
This development is seen as significant because Ganduje, as governor in 2020, had dethroned Sanusi and fragmented the Kano Emirate.
Sanusi was later reinstated as Emir following the election of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. The gesture signals a possible thaw in the long-standing rift between the two figures.
