Reinstated Emir of Gaya receives appointment letter from Kano Gov – DG
By KEMI KASUMU
His Royal Highness Alhaji Aliyu Abdulkadir Gaya has received his appointment letter to serve as the new Emir of Gaya Emirate.
The DEFENDER reports that the Emir is the only among the five deposed emirs to be reinstated by the Executive Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir 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 of Gaya, Rano and Karaye.
A statement issued by the Director General Media and Publicity and Spokesman to the Governor, Mallam Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, dated July 18, 2024 and sent to The DEFENDER on Thursday, noted that the reinstatement of HRH Aliyu Ibrahim was based on merit and his commitment to serve the people of the Gaya Emirate, which comprises Gaya, Ajingi and Albasu Local Government Areas.
“You may recall that the Emir of Gaya was the only one who accepted the will of Almighty Allah at the time when the five emirates were dissolved and all emirs deposed,” the statement read.
The Emir of Gaya was accompanied to the Kano State Government House for the presentation ceremony by all the kingmakers and other titleholders of the emirate.
