Muhammadu Sunusi II, the Emir of Kano, has sacked
Lamido Bayero, the eldest son of the late Emir Ado
Bayero, from his post as Ciroman Kano and District
Head of Gwale.
Premium Times reports that this decision was taken by
the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor
following the refusal of Lamido to return to his duty
despite the fact that the Emir had written his
predecessor’s son, a few months after ascending the
throne.

Emir Sanusi had reportedly allowed the issue to rest
following Bayero’s appointment as the managing
director of the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, by
former President Goodluck Jonathan, but the moment
Bayero was laid off by President Muhammadu
Buhari, the emir reportedly directed the Emirate
Council to write to Mr. Bayero again.
A top palace source, who confided in Premium Times,
said: “When a letter was written to him again, he neither
responded nor appeared in person to explain his reasons.
“His Highness first reasoned that the local government of
Gwale was too important to be left vacant, and so he
elevated the son of Emir Inuwa to be the district head.
“And now the title of Ciroma is also stripped.”
And according to a statement by Abbas Sanusi, the
Galadima Kano, Emir Sanusi appointed Bayero’s
younger brother, Nasiru Bayero, to replace him as the
new Ciroman Kano, to take effect immediately.
Since losing out the throne of the new emir to the
former CBN governor, Lamido Bayero, who was a
foremost contender, has since moved to Abuja and
refused to bow to the new emir as provided by the
tradition.
