SANUSI LAMIDO EMERGES NEW EMIR OF KANO! Following the death of the previous incumbent emir of Kano, Nigeria’s ousted central bank chief was on Sunday, today, named Emir of Kano. The previous emir, Ado Abdullahi Bayero, died on Friday aged 83 after a long battle with cancer. The appointment was announced at the state government headquarters in the northern city in the presence of the four so-called “kingmakers” — royal officials who meet in closed session to decide on the succession. Read below the announcement made by the state government in endorsement of his appointment. “The state government received their recommendations and Allah has conferred on Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the former governor of the central bank, (the post of) the successor to the late emir,” The Emir of Kano is the second most-influential of Nigeria’s triumvirate of Muslim leaders: at the top is the Sultan of Sokoto and number three is the Shehu of Borno. All three traditional Muslim monarchs are custodians of Islam and lead clerics in their areas. They have also been seen as key figures bridging the often fractious divide between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria.

I just can’t wait to see the end. Congratulations to the new Emir of Kano, SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI
