Abba also voluntarily relinquished his traditional title of ‘Falakin Kano’.
He told journalists on Tuesday, that he tendered his resignation in a letter written to the secretary of the Kano emirate council.
He was appointed by Sanusi, and subsequently elevated to the position he held when the former monarch parted ways with his uncle, Isa Sanusi, who was the first person to hold the post in Kano emirate.

Please accept the assurance of my esteemed regards always,” his resignation letter read in part.
It is usual for traditional title holders to relinquish their positions, if an emir was deposed, or if their preferred candidate fails to ascend the throne.
