Barely 48 hours after he assented to a bill splitting Kano Emirate into five, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has appointed four new Emirs in Kano State.
The new emirs are Aminu Ado Bayero (Bichi), Ibrahim Abdulkadir (Gaya), Tafida Abubakar (Rano), and Ibrahim Abubakar (Karaye).
Ado Bayero is one of the sons of the predecessor of Muhammadu Sanusi, the incumbent Emir of Kano.
A statement from the state Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, says the new Emirs would receive their letters of appointment and staff of office at a ceremony at Sani Abacha Stadium on Saturday May 11.
Meanwhile, a restraining order was granted on Friday by a Kano High court against putting effect to the 4 newly created emirates.
