Lamido Adamawa remains chairman council of emirs — Adamawa Assembly

Following the passage and signing into law for the creation of more districts in Adamawa, the Adamawa State House of Assembly has cleared the air over rumours that the Lamido Adamawa has been stripped of his title as Life Chairman of the state council of emirs and chiefs in the state.

Hon. Musa Mahmoud Kallamu, Chairman of the House Committee on Information, made the clearance today, Friday, in a press conference in Yola.

He said the bill establishing the Adamawa State Council of Chiefs clearly states that the Lamido Adamawa shall be the chairman of the council.

He noted that; “Section 17 of the bill establishes the Adamawa State Council of Chiefs, while Section 18 outlines the membership of the council, which includes chiefs, second-class chiefs, the permanent secretary of chieftaincy affairs, and the ALGON chairman”.

The lawmaker stressed that Lamido Adamawa’s position as chairman is not affected by the creation of zonal traditional councils, which will have rotational chairmanship but report to the state chairman, Lamido Adamawa.

It be recalled that when the governor signed the bill into the creation of more traditional districts in Adamawa, there were reports that the chairmanship position of the council of emirs had been made rotational.
