Nigeria: Ganduje Recognises Sanusi As Emir At Kano Deputy Governor's Swearing-in
Ganduje’s public recognition of Sanusi drew applause as Kano’s emirate dispute remains in court and a separate attack left one man dead, officials said.
- Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf swore in Murtala Sule Garo as the new Deputy Governor of Kano State on Tuesday following his confirmation by the Kano State House of Assembly last week.
- Garo assumes the role following the March 27, 2026, resignation of former Deputy Governor Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, an appointment Governor Yusuf described as strategic for strengthening unity.
- In a striking turn during the ceremony, former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje publicly recognized Muhammad Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano, drawing loud applause from assembled dignitaries.
- Pledging loyalty to the administration, Garo promised to support Yusuf's vision for Kano State, while prominent political and traditional leaders attended, reflecting evolving dynamics ahead of 2027 general elections.
- Authorities are investigating the death of Nura Ribadu, killed at Kano Medical Centre following the ceremony, as reports allege the incident involved political thugs despite no official security confirmation.
