Already, the current Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayeo and his Bichi counterpart Nasiru Ado Bayero have travelled out of the state.

Recall that Mr Sanusi was dethroned in March 2020 by former governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, following a protracted political dispute.

 

 

Mr Ganduje had then created the four new Emirates to reduce the influence of the Once powerful Kano Emirate.

 

All eyes are now on the modalities and process the State Government will make to pave way for the return of the 14th Emir of Kano, Mallam Muhammad Sunusi Lamido Aminu Sunusi.

The Deputy President of the Senate and the Acting Speaker of the ECOWAS Parliament, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, led the delegation to Aliyu Saidu Bebeji Government Arabic Secondary School and Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria (MAAUN).

Parliamentarians from 12 countries, including Nigeria, Benin Republic, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cote D’ Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Senegal, Sierra Leone and the Republic of Togo, are participating in the second extraordinary session of the parliament.

At the secondary school, Senator Barau explained the importance of the ECOWAS in integrating the subregion.

He said they are in the school to bring the Parliament closer to the people and for the students to tap from their wealth of experiences.

“We are here today for the members of the ECOWAS Parliament to know about our educational system and to meet our students, as well as for you, the students, to learn more about the ECOWAS Parliament.

“This school is like my school. I belong to this community. I was the first House of Representatives member of this federal constituency (Tarauni) in 1999.

” Therefore, I am donating uniforms to all the school’s students, one set for each student. I will send tailors to take your measurements for the new uniforms. I will also give a new Sharon vehicle for the school and N1 million to the teachers,” he said.
