Muhammadu Sanusi
Muhammadu Sanusi is the emir of Kano and a prominent traditional leader in Nigeria, known for his influential role in both religious and cultural matters. He previously served as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and was ousted from his emirate in 2020 due to a conflict with the state government. In a significant turn of events, he was reappointed as emir in May 2022 amid ongoing disputes over the throne with his cousin Aminu Ado Bayero. Sanusi's recent involvement in a public horse parade after Eid prayers led to clashes between rival groups, prompting a controversial police summons that was later withdrawn following public outcry, underscoring the importance of traditional institutions in Nigerian society.
