Alhaji Sanusi Ado Bayero is new Emir of Kano

Sanusi Ado Bayero, son of Alhaji Ado Bayero, the deceased Emir of Kano has been chosen to become the next Emir.
 Sanusi Lamido Sanusi broke the news on Twitter.
“Sanusi Ado Bayero (Chiroman Kano) has been selected as the new Emir of Kano. Announcement to be made later,” the ex-CBN chief tweeted.

The kingmakers who took the name of the shortlisted candidates to Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso; the Makaman Kano, Sarki Ibrahim, the Sarki Bai, Alhaji Adnana, the Sarki Dawaki Mai Tuta, Alhaji Bello Abubakar, and  the Madakin Kano Yusuf NaBuhari, were said to have recommended the son of the late Emir, who also doubles as the Chiroman Kano, to succeed his late father, stressing that the choice remains a stabilising factor for now.
The kingmakers were said to have told Kwankwaso that their nominee remained  the only choice to assuage the restive populace as the governor’s quarrel with the late Emir depressed him.
“We carefully assessed the situation and believe that the only way to avoid crisis is to honour the late Emir with appointment of his successor,” they were said to have told Kwankwaso.
Alhaji Sanusi Ado Bayero, Born on April 1st 1956, Sanusi Ado Bayero, 58, is the first son of late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Dr. Ado Abdullahi Bayero who died on Friday June 6th in Kano after a long illness at the age of 83. The new Emir holds a degree in Law from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
