The Kano State House of Assembly has dissolved all four newly formed emirate councils in the state, which were created by the immediate past governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje.
The dissolution of the impacted Emirates followed deliberations on the House floor during session on Thursday.
The Kano State Emirates Council Amendment Bill was debated on the House floor on Thursday morning, following second and third readings.
Earlier, Deputy Speaker Muhammad Butu noted that repealing the ordinance will restore Kano’s lost grandeur because the separation of the emirate into five decreased the state’s capacity and dignity at the national level.
The Majority Leader, Alhaji Lawan Dala, stated that the emirate council operated as a protector of culture, which had been warped by the establishment of four new emirates.
With the modification to the law, all four new emirate councils were abolished, leaving only the Kano Emirate.
The House also approved a move to form a new second-class emirate council in the state.
