Five senior traditional titleholders, including a new Galadiman Kano, have been appointed by Muhammadu Sanusi II, the 16th Emir of Kano, who was reinstated.
According to Naija News, the Galadiman Kano, Alhaji Munir Sanusi Bayero, was appointed first on the list of appointees. Other individuals honored include Adam Lamido Sanusi, who was given the title of Tafidan Kano; Alhaji Ahmad Abbas Sanusi, who was given the title of Yariman Kano; Alhaji Kabir Tijjani Hashim, the District Head of Nassarawa, who now holds the title of Wamban Kano; and Alhaji Mahmud Ado Bayero, the District Head of Gwale, who is now known as the Turakin Kano.
Emir Sanusi urged the new title holders to lead with honesty and commitment during Friday’s turbaning ceremony at the Emir’s Palace.
You have been chosen based on your track records and that of your families. Most of you have demonstrated unwavering loyalty to the emirate and our lineage and have contributed immensely to supporting the poor and advancing society. I urge you all to emulate your forebears. May God guide you in discharging your duties,” he stated.
The ceremony drew attendance from high-profile figures including Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, members of the Kano State executive council, traditional rulers, religious figures, family members, and well-wishers.
In a notable development, the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, also performed a turbaning ceremony at the Nassarawa mini palace, where he named Alhaji Sunusi Lamido Ado Bayero as the Galadiman Kano.
