There are indications that Shinkafi emirate council of
Zamfara State may fall apart as most of the traditional title holders in
Shinkafi emirate council have thrown in the towels, saying that they were not
consulted by the Emir before conferring a traditional title to former Minister
of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani Kayode.
According to those who withdrew from the council, the main
problem remains that the Emir in question did not explain the contribution the
former minister had made either in Shinkafi Local Government Area or Zamfara
state or the entire country.
“We are demanding explanations from the Emir and without the
explanations, there will be no peace in the emirate council,” they lamented.
The traditional leaders said they held a meeting in Gusau,
the state capital and unanimously agreed that if the Emir wishes to hand over
the entire Shinkafi Local Government Area to the Yoruba’s, he can do so, saying
that they can equally fight back.
” The Emir should understand that he is not the alpha and
omega in the Local Government Area and he will never be.”
According to them, the Emir is never an Island that he can
stay in his bedroom and take decision which he imposed on his subordinates,
stressing that the state government should dethrone the Emir for the sake of
peace in the emirate.
They, however, cautioned the Emir to as a matter of
necessity take the Path of honor by resigning his appointment instead of being
pushed away disgracefully.
” We are not going to tolerate all this nonsense from the
Emir because we are operating a democratic system in the country where
everybody can voice out his or her own opinion.”
The traditional leaders maintained that if the state
government remains silent over this issue, then there will be problem in the
emirate council and the Local Government Area in general.
They called on the Emir to as a matter of urgency withdraw
the traditional title from Femi Fani-Kayode, else there will be nothing like
Shinkafi emirate council.
It could be recalled that recently the Emir of Shinkafi
emirate council, Alhaji Muhammad Isah conferred Femi Fani-Kayode with a
traditional title which the traditional title holders said was one of the
highest traditional titles in the emirate.
Our correspondent reports authoritatively that since the
ceremony took place in Gusau, the state capital, it has raised tension in the
Local Government Area.
