Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, is new Emir of Kano
The immediate past governor of Nigeria's Central Bank, Lamido Sanusi, has been named the new emir of the powerful Kano emirate, to succeed late Ado Bayero who died on Friday.
Mr. Sanusi's appointment was announced Sunday by the secretary to the Kano state government, Suleiman Bichi.
The announcement followed the recommendation of the four members of the Kingmaker council who nominated the new emir to the governor.
The four kingmakers who nominated Mr. Sanusi include the Makaman Kano, Sarki Ibrahim, the Sarki Bai, Alhaji Adnana, the Sarki Dawaki Mai Tuta, Bello Abubakar, and the Madakin Kano Yusuf Na Buhari.
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.
