A new monarch has emerged in Kano State, Nigeria, as the Hausa Christians have installed His Royal Highness Rev. Shuaibu Bargi as their new king. The coronation ceremony took place on November 22, 2025, in the city of Kano, marking a significant milestone in the community’s history.
The event was a grand affair, with dignitaries and well-wishers in attendance to witness the installation of the new king. Rev. Shuaibu Bargi, a respected leader in the Christian community, is expected to bring stability and progress to the Hausa Christians of Kano State.
The Hausa Christians, a minority group in the predominantly Muslim state, have been seeking recognition and representation, and the installation of their own king is seen as a major achievement.
Details of the coronation ceremony and the new king’s plans for his people are still emerging, but one thing is clear: His Royal Highness Rev. Shuaibu Bargi has big shoes to fill and a challenging task ahead of him. We wish him well in his new role.
