Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf will assent to the amended emirates council bill any moment from now, as the Kano State House of Assembly reconvenes today to take a final decision.
Recall that armed security operatives from the police and civil defence took over strategic places at the assembly on Wednesday, during which the lawmakers, drawn from both the ruling NNPP and leading opposition APC in the state, allowed the bill that sought to repeal the creation of five emirates to pass the first reading.
The Kano State Emirates Council (Amendment number 2) Law, 2024, was sponsored by the Majority Leader and member representing the Dala Constituency, Lawan Hussaini Chediyar Yan Gurasa.
The Kano State Emirates Council Law 2019 which created five new emirates was first assented to by ex-Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on December 5, 2019.
