Kano State House of Assembly has commenced move for creation of four additional emirates in the state.
At today’s plenary, the Speaker of the House, Alhaji Kabiru Alhassan Rurum read a letter brought to the house for consideration by Ibrahim Salisu and others, requesting the house to start a move for creating four additional emirates in the state.
The proposed new emirates are Karaye, Bichi, Rano and Gaya.
The implication of creating additional emirates is that the powers of the present Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammad Sanusi ll, will be reduced.
The four proposed emirates are presently being headed by district heads and if upgraded, will have emirs as heads.
