Kano Assembly Passes Bill To Create Second Class Emirates 

The Kano house of assembly has passed a bill to create second class emirates in the state.

The bill, which was introduced on Monday, passed second and third readings on Tuesday.

The legislation is seeking to create three emirates — Rano (Rano, Bunkure, Kibiya), Karaye (Karaye, Rogo), and Gaya (Gaya, Ajingi, Albasu).

The second class emirates will be under Muhammadu Sanusi II, Emir of Kano.

The development comes a day after a Kano state high court permanently restrained Aminu Bayero from parading himself as the Emir of Kano pending the determination of a suit.

Aminu Aliyu, the presiding judge, also restrained four other dethroned emirs of Bichi, Gaya, Rano, and Karaye from parading themselves as monarchs.

On May 23, Sanusi was reinstated as emir by Abba Yusuf, governor of Kano, 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The Kano house of assembly repealed the law used by Abdullahi Ganduje, former governor of the state, to depose and exile Sanusi in 2020.

The repeal paved the way for the reinstatement of Sanusi and the dethronement of Bayero.

Since his dethronement, Bayero has been residing at the mini Nassarawa palace.

The emirship tussle in Kano has heightened tension in the state since Bayero returned to a hero’s welcome in May — hours after he was deposed.
