Abba explained that the Council had also conferred the title of Turaki Adamawa, hitherto held by Atiku, on his son, Aliyu.
He said: “It is true that the emirate has appointed Atiku Abubakar the new Waziri of Adamawa, while his son, Aliyu, is also appointed as the new Turaki Adamawa to take over from his father.”
