Sequel to a special session held by lawmakers on the floor of the house presided over by the speaker, RT. Hon. Jibrin Falgore, the Kano State House of Assembly has dissolved all the four newly created emirate councils in the state.
The Kano State Emirates Council Amendment Bill was considered on the floor of the House after scaling second and third reading on Thursday morning.
The Deputy Speaker, Muhammad Butu, in his earlier address, posited 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.
