Emir of Gaya, Aliyu Abdulkadir, has been reinstated and received his appointment letter from the Governor of Kano, Abba Yusuf.
Gatekeepers News reports that along with this reinstatement, the Governor appointed two other emirs as second-class emirs on the same day.
According to a statement from Bature Dawakin Tofa, the spokesperson of the Kano government, Abdulkadir’s reinstatement was based on merit.
“You may recall that the Emir of Gaya was the only one who accepted the will of Almighty Allah at the time when the five emirates were dissolved and all emirs deposed,” the statement reads.
“The Emir of Gaya arrived at the Kano Government House accompanied by all the kingmakers and other titleholders of the emirate.”
On Tuesday, the State Governor signed the bill to create three second-class emirates in the State.
