Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of
Kano state, has presented the staff of office to the four new emirs following
the recent breakup of the Kano emirate.
This is coming on the back of a
court order which restrained the governor from implementing the breakup of the
emirate.
Abba Anwar, his chief press
secretary, in a statement on Monday, said the governor presented the instrument
to Aminu Ado-Bayero, the eldest son of the late emir of Kano, as the emir of
Bichi.
The staff of office was also
presented to Ibrahim Abubakar II, emir of Karaye; Tafida Abubakar-Ila, emir of
Rano, and Ibrahim Abdulkadir, emir of Gaya.
“This Staff of Office represents
dedication and commitment to serve your subjects in the areas of security,
health care delivery system, education and environment among others,” said the
governor while congratulating the new first class traditional rulers.

“We, as a government, are always
ready to work with you hand in hand for the growth and development of our state
in particular and the nation in general.
“You should place greater
priority on education, health and the security of your domains. As a
government, we will always respond positively to your people-oriented yearnings
and aspirations.
“As leaders who are closer to
your subjects, you should join hand with government and other security agencies
to make sure that security is not only improved but maintained.
“Efforts towards strengthening
community policing, as practised globally, should form part of your commitment.
Ours is to, together, ensure that global best practices are observed.”
Ganduje had signed a law that
created four additional emirates in the state, leaving Muhammad Sanusi, emir of
Kano, with the control of 10 out of 44 local government areas.
He said the new emirates were
created in the state to reduce the burden on Sanusi.
The governor also said he had
presented appointment letters to the new emirs before the state high court
issued a restraining order.
