Apart from being a former Emir, Sunusi is also the former Governor, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the present leader of the Tijjaniyya Sufi order in Nigeria.
In August, Malam Isah Yuguda, the former governor of Bauchi State, was elected head of Tabital Pulaaku in Nigeria. According to the ex-governor, Tabital Pulaaku has a great role to play in bringing lasting solutions to farmers-herders clashes which have persisted over the years in Nigeria.
