Sanusi, Others In Contention For Emir
Of Kano Seat
As the city mourns the death of the
monarch, kingmakers would be left with
the arduous task of looking for a suitable
successor.

There are four king makers in the Kano
Emirate Council: Sarkin Bai, Sarkin
Dawaki Mai Tuta, Madaki, and Makama.
They are the senior councillors that have
the right to sit and nominate a succeeding
Emir. They can even nominate two or three potential nominees as the case may
be, after which the likely successors'
names would be sent to the state
governor for endorsement.

Here are some of the likeliest to succeed
Alhaji Bayero.

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (Danmajen
Kano)

Many will argue that the former
governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria,
Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has lived for
a time like this. He hails from the Sarki
Sanusi lineage. With many of the opinion
that the position may go back to the late Sarki Sanusi lineage, the Wamban Kano
and former CBN governor stand a better
chance to be nominated by the king
makers.

It was believed by some close observers
of the Emirate Council that the
appointment of the former CBN governor
as the Dan Majen of Kano was part of the
preparation to one day emerge as the
new Emir of Kano.

"You see that is what we have been
telling people that time would come when
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi would be among
the contenders of Kano Emir seat"
observed Jamilu, a keen observer of the
Emirate Council.

Abbas Sanusi, Wamban Kano It common knowledge to the people of
Kano that one of the front runners for the
position is the present Wamban Kano,
Alhaji Abbas Sanusi, who is the son of the
late Emir of Kano Alhaji Sanusi Bayero.

Abbas is the senior Councillor in the
Emirate and he was rumoured to be
nursing the ambition of being the Emir of
Kano for quite a long time now.
His huge experience in the Emirate may
likely make some impact in his quest to succeed the late Bayero.

Tijjani Hashim (Galadiman Kano) He is a very popular person among the
Kano Emirate Council not only because of
his wealth, but his near total influence
over members of the emirate and across
the state.

entire people of the state, popular
amongst indigenes and non- indigenes

activities
He is well connected in the circle of power brokers in the country. He is said
to have a large following of dedicated
followers.
