Few Hours after the passage of the Executive Bill sent to the Kano State House of Assembly for the creation of four more Emirates in the state, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State has signed the Bill into law.
Igbere TV gathered that after signing the Bill into law, Governor Ganduje apparently referring to Emir Sanusi, said, “we are going to have the Chairman of the five Kano Emirs, who would be reconvening meetings.”
“And anybody who is absent among the five Emirs for five consecutive times risk been disposed.”
The ceremony, which was done at Coronation Hall, Government House, Kano, now paved way for having five Emirates in the state, according to the Governor.
Ganduje observed that the previous law which, was challenged in the court was been sponsored by private hands, not his Government.
Governor said, it was out of respect, though not satisfied with that, the state decided to come to a term to the need for sponsoring another Bill by the Executive, “…just as we did now,” he stated.
“As a law abiding administration, we came and deliberated upon that at the State Executive Council, after which we sent the Bill to the State House of Assembly, seeking for the creation of 4 additional Emirates, namely Bichi, Rano, Gaya and Karaye,” he said.
He further explained that, “After successfully passing the Bill by the House, here we are, as you are all witnessing the singing of the Bill into a law. And our Emirates have come to stay.”
All things concerning the new Emirates were done, according to the governor “To bring development closer to the people. We need sustainable socio-economic development for our dear state. We need further improvement in the security system and well being of our people.”
The law provides that there will be individual Emirate Council in all the now 5 Emirates. And membership of the Councils is drawn from the Emir, who heads the Council of his own domain, Imam from the Emirate, representative of business community, and other identified group of people from there.
At the state level, there is going to be a Central Council of Emirs, that will consist all the five Emirs in the state as well as representatives of other identified groups of people. The new system is more of injecting some semblance of people participation in their socio-economic development through the traditional institutions.
