Sullubawa fought against the Hausa kingdoms in the jihad led by Usman dan Fodio. They became "hereditary beneficiaries of all positions of authority in all but one Hausa state". The clan controlled many of the fiefdoms of the Kano Emirate in the 19th century. They benefitted from British colonization and indirect rule which saw their influence increase. The Sullubawa later attained positions of power following independence; with one of them Umaru Musa Yar'Adua becoming President of Nigeria.
