Amid ongoing controversies surrounding the Kano Emirate, the Bichi Emirate Council declared on Tuesday their strong opposition to dissolving the five emirates established by former Governor Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje’s administration.
The council issued a strong warning to the state government and State Assembly, demanding an urgent reversal of the repealed emirates law to allow the five emirates to continue for the benefit of the state.
The Secretary of the council, Engr. Bello Gambo (Inuwar Masarautar Bichi) while briefing newsmen in Kano, described the dissolution of the emirates as unacceptable.
Engr. Gambo continued when he said that they will resist the government plans to appoint what they termed as 2nd Class Emirs for them or to send a District Heads, adding that what they want is their Emir and nothing less.
“We reject in totality any planned appointment of a 2nd Class Emirs for us or rather a District Heads as the case might be. Our Emir should be allowed to continue and nothing less. We will not accept anything otherwise,” he said.
