The emir’s visit to his mother is his first outing 24 hours after he was appointed emir of Kano by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

Ganduje yesterday approved the appointment of Bayero as the new Emir of Kano hours after dethroning Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II.

He is the son of the 13th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Dr. Ado Abdullahi Bayero, who reigned from 1963 till his death in 2014.

Meanwhile the dethroned Emir of Kano, Muhammdu Sanusi II has urged the people to support the new emir.

Sanusi ll was dethroned yesterday over what the Kano state government described as ‘disrespect to the office of the governor and other government agencies‘.

The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, said there was no reason to be sad over his dethronement.
