He emphasized that education should come before traditional authority, noting that knowledge strengthens leadership and earns greater respect in society.
Sanusi made the remarks during the Hawan Nasarawa Durbar held at the Kano Government House as part of Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
He explained: “My return to school is not because of court matters, but to encourage others. Those criticising my return to school should understand that education comes before kingship.”
The Emir also expressed appreciation to the Kano State Government for the recognition and respect given to the emirate.
He added that education plays a vital role in traditional leadership, stating that educated monarchs command greater dignity, while those without formal education lack meaningful value in leadership.
His comments come amid ongoing debates about the balance between tradition, leadership, and modern education within the emirate system.
Meanwhile, Kano State marked an unusual Eid-el-Fitr celebration with three separate prayer gatherings held across the city, highlighting growing divisions among traditional and political figures.
The 16th Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II, led prayers at the Kofar Mata Eid Ground, attended by top officials including Governor Abba Yusuf, the Secretary to the State Government Umar Faruq, and the Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Adamu Bakori. His sermon reportedly focused on unity and peaceful coexistence.
At the same time, the 15th Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero, conducted a separate Eid prayer at the Nasarawa Palace, where messages of peace, unity, and stability were also emphasized.
In another development, the National Leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Rabiu Kwankwaso, held his own Eid prayer at his residence mosque along Miller Road, joined by political allies and supporters.
The parallel observances reflect the ongoing emirate dispute in Kano, which began in 2020 following the dethronement of Sanusi and the installation of Bayero, and was further complicated by Sanusi’s reinstatement in 2024.
The situation has since been shaped by political tensions and shifting alliances, leading to the unprecedented holding of separate Eid prayers in the state.
