The Kano State House of Assembly has dissolved all the five emirate councils in the state, saying Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has the sole power to appoint new Emirs.
This was sequel to deliberations on the floor of the house
during plenary on Thursday.
The Kano State Emirate Council Amendment Bill was considered
on the floor of the house after scaling second and third readings on Thursday
morning.
Earlier, the Deputy Speaker, Alhaji Muhammad Bello Butu
Butu, explained that repealing the law would revive the lost glory of Kano as
the division of Kano Emirate to five reduced the capacity and dignity of the
state at national level.
The Majority Leader, Alhaji Lawan Hussaini Dala, said the
emirate council served as a custodian of culture which was distorted by the
creation of additional emirates.
Speaking to journalists, Dala explained that with the
amendment of the law, all the five emirate councils were abolished while the
Commissioner for Local Governments would serve as the overseer.
The house also adopted a motion to create a new second class
emirate council in the state.
