Sanusi Sacks The Eldest Son Of Bayero, Appoints The Younger
The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has appointed Alhaji Nasiru Ado Bayero, as the new Ciroman Kano and District Head of Gwale after the removal of his brother, Alhaji Sanusi Ado Bayero, the eldest son of the late Emir of Kano, for refusing to pay homage to the emir.
Bayero’s sack was contained in a statement signed by the Galadiman Kano and Senior Councillor in the Emirate, Alhaji Abbas Sanusi, made available to newsmen in Kano on Wednesday.
According to the statement, the former Chiroma, who was also the District Head of Gwale, was removed following his refusal to pay homage to the Emir, since he was appointed on June 8, 2014.
“It is against the Sharia and the traditional institution for any District Head and member of the Emirate Council to refuse to pay homage to the Emir.
“The former Chiroma was a District Head and a Member of the Emirate council, hence the decision to remove him,” it said.
The statement added that all district heads and other traditional rulers in the state had since paid homage to the Emir with the exception of the former Chiroma. It would be recalled that Alhaji Bayero was one of the most favoured candidates to ascend the throne as Emir of Kano but he lost out to Sanusi, the former Governor of Nigeria’s Central Bank
