The development was disclosed at the ongoing conference of the sect in Sokoto State.

Naija News gathered that Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi is among the influential personalities attending the conference.

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.
