Following recent agitations in Kano calling for the dissolution of the five new emirates in the state to return to the former single emirate, a group, Inuwar Masarautar Bichi, Kano State, has cautioned the Kano State House of Assembly (KNHA), against dissolving the emirates in the state.
The group gave the charge in a letter addressed to the Speaker of the Assembly captioned: “Scrapping or Abolishing of Kano New Emirate Councils: An Appeal for Caution and Restraint.”
The letter was signed by the group’s coordinating secretary, Bello Gambo Bichi, alongside 77 other members of local government representatives of the Bichi Emirate, copies of which were made available to newsmen in Kano, yesterday.
“The media has recently reported that a faceless group named; Coalition For The Protection Of Democratic Rights Groups (COPDORG), otherwise called Kungiyar ‘Yan Dangwale,’ has presented a request to this Honourable House demanding for the abolishing, scraping or dethronement of the newly-established Emirate system but one in Kano State”, it said.
According to the group, COPDORG’s request, if granted, could pose a serious setback for the Bichi Emirate in particular and the remaining emirates in the state.
