You can certainly sponsor him.
There is a rule that someone who was sponsored (you, for example) cannot sponsor a new spouse for five years after becoming a PR. However, because this is the same spouse, I believe this rule would not apply.

Guys any advise pleasssssseeee .. this is so important to me .. thanks.
Your situation is a bit unusual but as mentioned by others, don't think the 5 year ban applies to you at all considering that this is the same sponsored spouse. There is is different in sponsoring someone who lost PR status and sponsoring a completely different person.
