Sanusi Mika’ilu Sami’s appointment as the new Emir of Zuru has been approved by Kebbi State governor Nasir Idris.
His appointment came after former Emir Muhammad Sani Sami Gomo II, who passed away in a London hospital on August 16, 2025, passed away.
Garba Dutsin-Mari, the Kebbi State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, said the appointment was based on the recommendations of the election committee when she addressed the letter to the new Emir on Thursday in Zuru.
Emir of Zuru passes away in Kebbi at 81.
Sanusi Mika’ilu Sami, one of the three candidates chosen for the position and chosen by the Zuru Emirate Emirate election committee, received the most votes, according to Dutsin-Mari, who won the election to the throne.
He praised the Kebbi State Governor for allowing the new Emir’s appointment, and urged the new royal father to defend his trust.
In the presence of God Almighty, the commissioner advised the new monarch to diligently discharge his duties.
Governor Idris has also stated that no official who served under former president Muhammadu Buhari has the moral right to criticize President Bola Tinubu’s administration over security issues, citing the inherited difficulties.
The governor made this statement on Wednesday during a special prayer held at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi to mark the 34th anniversary of Kebbi State’s founding.
Governor Idris noted that the current administration had been in charge of security issues before it, noting that the federal government has always been quick to intervene when his state is in crisis.
I contacted the Chief of Defence Staff and requested federal assistance when security concerns arose in southern Kebbi. He claimed that the CDS had distributed 10 armoured personnel carriers across the affected areas as a response.
