‘On Rugbo Bo o’ Kano Assembly Repeals Law Creating Gaya, Karaye, Rano, Bichi Emirate Councils
After scaling 3rd reading, the Kano state house of assembly on Thursday passed the Kano Emirates Council law (repeal bill) 2024 into law.
The new bill, if eventually assented to by Governor Abba Yusuf, will invalidate the creation of four new Emirate councils in the state.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the new bill also stated that all offices that came into being under the repealed law will cease to exist.
‘Also all district heads elevated or appointed under the repealed law are to revert to the Kano state Emirates Council (Amendment number 2) Law, 2024’.
The bill was sponsored by the Majority Leader , Hon Lawan Hussaini Chediyar Yan Gurasa, who represents Dala Constituency.
Recall that a group, the Yan Dangwalen Jihar Kano (the Kano Electorate), had sent a letter to the Kano state House of Assembly which was dated February 5, 2024, seeking a review of the bill creating the Gaya, Rano, Karaye, and Bichi emirate councils.
They had also demanded that the former Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II should be restored to the throne.
Recall that Alhaji Abdulahi Ganduje, who is currently the APC National Chairman, had in his eight years as governor did a lot of things that influenced the course of history especially when it comes to chieftaincy matters.
Recall also that in 2019, the House of Assembly had approved the creation of four additional emirate councils, bringing the number of First-Class Emirs in the state to five.
The new councils are Gaya; Karaye, Rano, Bichi and the old Kano Emirate Council.
Alhaji Nasiru Ado Bayero is currently serving as Emir of Bichi , Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Gaya is the Emir of Gaya, the Emir of Karaye is Alhaji Ibrahim Abubakar II while Alhaji Kabiru Muhammad Inuwa is the Emir of Rano.
Apart from creating new emirate councils, Alhaji Muhammadu Lamido Sanusi, a former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, was also removed as Emir of Kano on March 9 ,2020 .
Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, who was then serving as Emir of Bichi , was appointed as the new Emir of Kano.
Kano state House of Assembly had also earlier passed the Kano Emirate Council Amendment Bill, 2019 into Law during the plenary session presided over by the then Speaker Hamisu Ibrahim Chidari -Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
