The speaker of the House Alhaji Abdulaziz Garba Gafasa announced the Passage of Bill during the House plenary on Thursday.

The new bill approved for the creation of four additional Emirates council in the state which includes Bichi,Gaya,Rani and Karaye from the Kano Emirate.

The Bill scaled through first,second and third readings before it was finally adopted by members of the Assembly.

A Kano High Court presided by Justice Usman Na’Abba on November,21 nullified the establishment of the four emirates created in May 2019, saying the State House of Assembly did not follow due process in creating the emirates.

Justice Na’Abba pointed out that the Kano State House of Assembly violated section 101 of the Nigerian Constitution which gives the Aseembly the power to enact its rules and guidelines of proceedings.

The creation of the new Emirates is the climax of the frosty relationship between the governor and the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

Many believed the governor took the decision to clip the wings of the Emir.
