Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, of Kano State has begun another process of creating four new emirates in the state, after court nullified the previously created once.
The governor was reportedly sent a notice to the state House of Assembly, on Monday with a new bill demanding the creation of new Emirates.
The State’s Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, said in a statement, that the bill has already been approved by the executive, and it had been transmitted to the legislators for further deliberation.
The statement reads, “To this end, the Council has, with this development, endorsed the establishment of four new emirates namely Rano, Gaya, Bichi and Karaye and forwarded same to the state House of Assembly for necessary action.
“Some of these emirates have even pre-dated Kano in ancient times, while the effort to revive them during the Second Republic was short-lived.
“Council seriously discussed the decade long clamour for the establishment of additional emirates in the state with a view to bringing more development to the people of the new emirates.
“The exercise was also informed by the need to bring traditional institution closer to the people in addition to facilitating speedy socio-economic development and security in the state.”
Recalled that court, had last month nullified, the previous Emirates created by the state Governor in Kano State.
According to the court, the State House of Assembly did not follow the due process of creating Emirates.
