Emir Sanusi Reveals President Tinubu’s Role In His Reinstatement

In an interview with TVC, Sanusi explained that President Tinubu acknowledged the Kano situation as a local issue and refrained from federal interference. Sanusi, the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, said, “I was appointed the 14th Emir of the single emirate of Kano in June 2014, and now I am reappointed as the Emir of the single emirate of Kano.”

Sanusi expressed gratitude to President Tinubu, stating, “I would like to express my thanks to His Excellency Alhaji Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose principled stance of non-interference in the state’s internal affairs made this possible. The President has shown respect for the constitution and the separation of powers, recognizing this as a local matter and ensuring the government acts in the state’s best interest. He has resisted all pressure to involve the federal government.”

Sanusi sees his reinstatement as a continuation of his previous service and an opportunity to improve on his earlier tenure.
