Despite the court order stopping the enforcement of the Kano State Emirates Repeal Law, the State Governor, Abba Yusuf, is set to present an appointment letter to the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II today at the Africa House, at the premises of Kano Government House.

This follows the reinstatement of Sanusi on Thursday by Governor Yusuf, four years after he was dethroned by a former governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje.

The governor also deposed five emirs appointed by Ganduje and gave them a 48-hour ultimatum to vacate their official residences and palaces.

He directed them to hand over all affairs to the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
