The appointment did not come as a surprise to many as the emir was said to have lived his early life under the care of the late Inuwa Wada.
When the present emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi 1, was screened by the 6th Senate for the position of the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN), a lawmaker asked him how his primary certificate bore ‘Sanusi Inuwa Wada’ instead of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
