The sect has not appointed any leader since the death of Sheikh Khalifa Isyaku Rabiu in 2018

Emir of Kano Muhammad Sanusi I, Sanusi’s late grandfather, was a leader of  The Tijjaniyah, a Sufi order.

The appointment took effect one year after Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State dethroned Sanusi.
