Reinstated Emir of Gaya receives appointment letter from Kano gov

The Kano state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has given a letter of appointment to Alhaji Aliyu Abdulkadir Gaya to serve as the new Emir of the Gaya Emirate.

However, the Emir is the only one among the five deposed emirs to be reinstated by the state governor, Alhaji Yusuf.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, who noted that the reinstatement of Aliyu Ibrahim was based on merit and his commitment to serve the people of the Gaya Emirate, which comprises Gaya, Ajingi, and Albasu Local Government Areas.

Also, this follows the assent of a new law by the Kano State House of Assembly, which allows for the creation of three second-class emirs: Gaya, Rano, and Karaye.

The statement reads: “You may recall that the Emir of Gaya was the only one who accepted the will of Almighty Allah at the time when the five emirates were dissolved and all emirs deposed.”

During the ceremony, the Emirate of Gaya arrived at the Kano Government House accompanied by all the kingmakers and other titleholders of the emirate.
