365Daily – The Kano State House of Assembly has repealed the Kano State Emirs (Appointment and Deposition) Law upon which the ddeposition of Muhammad Sanusi as the Emir of Kano was premised.
In a Thursday resolution taken in plenary, the Kano State House of Assembly dissolved all the four emirate councils created by the immediate past governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje.
Earlier, the Deputy Speaker, Muhammad Butu, explained that repealing the law would revive the lost glory of Kano as the division of Kano emirate to five reduced the capacity and dignity of the state at national level.
On his part, the Majority Leader, Alhaji Lawan Dala, said that the emirate council served as a custodian of culture which was distorted by the creation of the four additional emirates.
With the amendment of the law, all four new emirate councils were abolished leaving only the Kano Emirate.
The House also adopted a motion to create a new second-class emirate council in the state.
