The delegation includes, Ansarulddeen Tijjanniya sect and Traders from Kano popular textile market (Kantin Kwari) as well as the commodities market (Singer market) among others.
Politics Nigeria reports that Sanusi’s return as the 16th emir of Kano has been marked by controversy.
Sanusi was reinstalled as the emir of Kano last Thursday after the State House of Assembly repealed the Kano State Emirate Councils (Repeal) Bill 2024.
Governor Abba Yusuf signed the bill into law and reinstated Sanusi, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
