Incredible - Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the new Emir of Kano With His Wife Saadiya

 
Sa'adiya Lamido Sanusi, née Ado Beyero, is the daughter of the recently deceased Emir of Kano, a princess and now a queen as her husband, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is crowned the new Emir of Kano. Sanusi Lamido is a grandson of the Emir before Ado Bayero, meaning that the two are cousins. Kissing cousins, you could say. The couple have known each other since they were little and have been married for 26 years.

Congrats to the Sanusis and we pray that the new Emir's reign will bring peace, prosperity and unity to Kano, the north and indeed the whole country.
