The 15th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, has approved the appointment of Alhaji Sanusi Ado Bayero, the eldest son of the late Emir Ado Bayero, as the new Galadiman Kano.
The Independent Mirror reports that a letter dated April 21, 2025, signed by Senior Administrative Officer Awaisu Abbas Sanusi, said the appointment was approved following a meeting presided over by the Emir of Kano, His Highness Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero on April 16, 2025.
The letter, titled “Notice of Permission to Enter the Nasarawa Palace Mosque for Your Installation as Galadiman Kano,” invited Sanusi Ado Bayero to present himself at the Palace Mosque in Gidan Sarki, Nassarawa, on Friday, May 2, 2025, at 9:00 am, for the official conferment of the title by the Emir.
Similarly, on April 9, 2025, Emir Sanusi II approved the promotion of Alhaji Munir Sanusi Bayero from Wamban Kano to Galadiman Kano.
The approval was conveyed in a letter signed by the Matawallen Kano, Aliyu Ibrahim Ahmad.
This appointment highlights the deepening division within the Kano Emirate following the reinstatement of Muhammad Sanusi II as Emir, after his previous dethronement in 2020.
Emir Sanusi had last week appointed Galadiman Kano after the demise of Alhaji Abbas Sanusi, late Galadima.
Solabase.
