Currently no active Emirs in Kano – Kano State House of Assembly abolishes 5 emirates

On Thursday, the Kano State House of Assembly repealed the law that established the state’s five newly created Emirate councils.

Following this development, Lawan Hussaini Chediyar Yan Gurasa, the Majority Leader and sponsor of the Amendment Bill, announced that there are currently no active Emirs in Kano.

“The bill has been sent to the governor for assent. As of now, there are no longer active Emirs in any of the five Emirates: Kano, Bichi, Gaya, Rano, and Karaye,” he stated.

“The new law empowers the Governor to call upon the traditional kingmakers to select a new Emir.”
