Kano Assembly Passes Bill Creating New Emirates Amid Controversy
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The recent passage of a bill creating three new second-class emirates in Kano has sparked debate about the direction of the state’s traditional leadership structure. Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf had previously dissolved the four emirate councils established by former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, arguing that they were contrary to the spirit and culture of the Kano people. This move had already ignited tensions between Emir Beyero and former Emir Sanusi.

Passage of the Bill

On Tuesday, the Kano State House of Assembly passed the Kano State Emirates Council Establishment Bill 2024, which establishes three new second-class emirates. This development raises questions about the consistency of the government’s approach to the emirate system.

New Emirates and Their Jurisdictions

The bill specifies the jurisdictions of the new emirates as follows:

  • – Rano Emirate: Comprising Rano, Bunkure, and Kibiya local government areas.
  • – Gaya Emirate: Including Gaya, Albasu, and Ajingi local government areas.
  • -Karaye Emirate: Consisting of Karaye and Rogo local government areas.

The second-class emirs of these new emirates will report to the Emir of Kano and will have the authority to advise on matters such as public order, boundary disputes, community conflicts, and religious affairs within their jurisdictions.

Bill Provisions

Section 3 of the bill stipulates that all appointments and activities of both first-class and second-class emirs require the governor’s approval through the Commissioner for Local Governments. Section 4 establishes the hierarchical structure, positioning the Emir of Kano as the head of all emirates, with second-class emirs overseeing their respective local government areas.

Section 7 grants the governor the power to appoint any suitable person as a second-class emir, per the provisions of Section 4.

Legislative Process

The bill, sponsored by Deputy Speaker Muhammad Bello Bututu, passed its third reading on Tuesday during a session presided over by Speaker Ismail Falgore. The session began at 10:10 a.m. and concluded at 11:06 a.m.

Awaiting Governor’s Assent

The bill now awaits the governor’s assent to become law. However, it remains uncertain whether Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf will approve the bill, as it closely resembles the structure repealed by him, except for the exclusion of the Bichi emirate created by former Governor Ganduje.
