Kano House of Assembly moves to create 4 more emirates
Emerging reports have claimed that the Kano state House of Assembly on Monday, May 6, started making moves to create four additional emirates in the state.
The speaker of the House, Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, during plenary read a letter brought to the house for consideration by Ibrahim Salisu and others, requesting the House to start a move for creating four additional emirates in the state.
Rurum asked the house to start a move for creating four additional emirates in the state.
The four proposed new emirates are Karaye, Bichi, Rano and Gaya. They are presently being headed by district heads and if upgraded, will have emirs as heads.
The implication of creating additional emirates is that the powers of the present Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammad Sanusi ll, will be reduced.
