The action effectively reduces the influence of Emir Sanusi.
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State on Wednesday assented to a bill approving the creation of four additional emirates in the state, effectively reducing the influence of the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi.
On Monday, one Ibrahim Salisuhad submitted a petition to the state assembly seeking the decentralisation of the Kano Emirate Council. Earlier in the day, Governor Ganduje had announced that he would sign the bill when passed by the state assembly.The governor explained that with the expansion of the emirate councils and importance attached to the institution alongside preserving the cultural heritage, ”there was a need to bring forth the all-important institution to serve people better.”
“In the areas of education, health, environment, traditional institution is indeed a partner in progress. With this development, therefore, all hands will be on deck to take Kano to the next level.” Mr Rurum said when the bill was presented to the assembly, ”many people were jubilating and that they received many encomiums from the citizens”.
