Grassroots parrot reports that this title, traditionally reserved for the crown prince or heir apparent, marks Aminu Sanusi Lamido as a key figure in the future leadership of the Emirate.

Holders of the title are entrusted with managing specific districts within Kano, reflecting their status and duties in the royal hierarchy.
Aminu Sanusi Lamido’s appointment follows in the footsteps of his grandfather, Ambassador Aminu Sanusi, who held the same title until his death in the 1990s. The last person to hold the title was Alhaji Nasiru Ado Bayero, now the Emir of Bichi.
Nasiru Ado Bayero and his brother, Aminu Ado Bayero, the 15th Emir of Kano, were both removed from their titles by the Kano State government alongside three others during a reshuffling of the Kano royal leadership.
