Kano Kingmakers Choose New Emir: Drama, Politics, and Royal Intrigue Unfold

The kingmakers have gathered at the Government House, and it’s all eyes on them as they prepare to select a new emir.

You know the drill – drama, politics, and enough intrigue to make even the juiciest soap opera blush. The State House of Assembly recently repealed the State Emirates Council Law 2019, which had established four additional emirates under the previous administration. It’s like undoing a tangled knot, but with more power plays and less patience.

As soon as the law was repealed, the kingmakers wasted no time making their presence known. We’re talking about the Madakin Kano, the Makaman Kano, and the Sarkin Dawaki Mai Tuta, among others. These are the power players, the ones with the fate of Kano’s royal lineage in their hands.

The majority leader of the state House of Assembly spilled the tea to reporters, revealing that the repeal essentially wiped out the five new emirates and reverted to the original single emir setup. Talk about a rollercoaster ride! Now, it’s up to the governor to seal the deal and appoint a new emir. No pressure, right?

But wait, there’s more. Rumor has it that former Emir Lamido Sanusi might be making a comeback. Yes, you read that right! Sanusi, who was unceremoniously removed in 2019, might just be dusting off his crown for a second act. Can you imagine the plot twist?

In the meantime, speculation is rife, tensions are high, and everyone’s watching and waiting to see how this royal chess game unfolds. Will it be a return to tradition, or are we in for a surprise twist? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – the saga of Kano’s emirship is far from over.
