Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje
of Kano State has assured that the newly additional four Emirates have come to
stay, insisting that, they were created in good faith without any disdainful
treatment to anybody or group of individuals.
He said this on Sunday while
insisting that the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi is no longer the only first
class monarch in the state.
Reiterating his complete and
total support for smooth running of all the newly created Emirates in the
state, he further challenged that, “As a son of a Village Head (Dagaci) how can
I do something that would jeopardise the corporate existence of our long
standing heritage?
Explaining that, “If you count my
ancestors, not less than ten of them were village heads up to my biological
father. So I really don’t understand when people say my government is up for
harming this noble institution.”
The Governor dropped the hint
when he paid a condolence visit to Rano Emir’s Palace over the death of the
wife of Justice Wada Rano, Hajiya Khadija Wada Rano, after visiting the family
house of the deceased all in Rano local government.
He added that when he was signing
the Law establishing the four additional Emirate Councils of Rano, Bichi,
Karaye and Gaya, he made it categorically clear that, the aim for the new
Councils was primarily to push development closer to the people at the
grassroot.
He said after inauguration for
his second term in office, “We will come up with new and modern strategy for
the development of our state. Such strategy would incorporate, at a more closer
approach, our Emirate Councils. That was why we realised the need for having
these Emirate Councils.”
He that his administration needed
to give booster to the existing traditional institution, and “through waking up
the sleeping traditional institution.”
He ordered the Emir to deal with
the District Head of Bebeji who was said to have resigned his position in
protest of the new Emirate Council, adding that, “If it is appears true that he
resigned, the Emir can just send a representative there before the appointment
of a substantive District Head.”
The Governor expressed
satisfaction over some youth of Bebeji who staged a rally in support of the
creation of Rano Emirate Council and who also called for the removal of the
District Head of Bebeji, over his absenteeism.
