Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has presented a letter of appointment to the new Emir of Gaya Emirate, Aliyu Abdulkadir.
The emir is the only one among the five deposed emirs to be reinstated by Governor Yusuf.
This followed the assent of a new law by the Kano State House of Assembly, which allows for the creation of three second-class emirs in Gaya, Rano and Karaye.
A statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa, noted that Mr Ibrahim’s reinstatement was based on merit and his commitment to serving the people of the Gaya Emirate.
The emirate comprises Gaya, Ajingi, and Albasu Local Government Areas.

The Emir of Gaya arrived at the Kano Government House accompanied by all the kingmakers and other titleholders.
