Abba Yusuf, governor of Kano, has appointed three second-class emirs in the state.
In a statement, Bature Dawakin Tofa, spokesperson of the
Kano government, said the appointments of the emirs of Gaya, Karaye and Rano
emirates take immediate effect.
Muhammad Maharaz Karaye was appointed Emir of Karaye,
Muhammad Isa Umar was appointed Emir of Rano and Aliyu Abdulkadir was named
Emir of Gaya.
Abdulkadir was emir of the defunct Gaya emirate. He was one
of the emirs deposed after the governor reinstated Muhammadu Sanusi II as Emir
of Kano in May.
“While congratulating
the newly appointed Emirs, Governor Abba K. Yusuf enjoined them to be
custodians of culture, peace and unity of the people in their respective
emirates,” the statement reads.
On Tuesday, the Kano governor signed the bill creating three
second-class emirates in the state.
The legislation had sought to create three emirates: Rano
(Rano, Bunkure, and Kibiya), Karaye (Karaye, Rogo), and Gaya (Gaya, Ajingi, and
Albasu).
On May 23, Sanusi was reinstated by the governor at a colourful
ceremony in government house.
The Kano house of assembly repealed the law used by
Abdullahi Ganduje, former governor of the state, to depose Sanusi in 2020.
The repeal paved the way for the dethronement of Aminu
Bayero as Emir of Kano.
