Kano governor presents appointment letter to new Emir of Gaya
Governor Abba Yusuf has presented a letter of appointment to the new Emir of Gaya Emirate, Aliyu Abdulkadir.
The emir is the only one among the five deposed emirs to be reinstated by Mr Yusuf.

A statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa, noted that the reinstatement of Emir Ibrahim was based on merit and his commitment to serve the people of the Gaya Emirate.
The emirate comprises of Gaya, Ajingi, and Albasu LGAs.
“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 said.
The Emir of Gaya arrived at the Kano Government House accompanied by all the kingmakers and other titleholders.
