Gov Lawal approves Abdulkadir Bello as new emir of Gusau
Governor Dauda Lawal has approved the appointment of Abdulkadir Ibrahim Bello as the 16th Emir of Gusau (Sarkin Katsina of Gusau Emirate).
Mr Bello is to ascend the throne following the passing of his father, Ibrahim Bello, who died on July 25, after a decade of dedicated service as the 15th emir of the emirate.
The secretary to the state government, Abubakar Nakwada, announced this in a statement on Tuesday, stating that the appointment was based on the traditional recommendation of the Gusau Emirate kingmakers, in accordance with established customs and relevant laws.
The new emir is the eldest son of the late emir and, until his appointment, held a revered traditional title of Bunun Gusau.
The governor congratulated the new emir and urged him to uphold the noble legacy of his forefathers, especially as a direct descendant of Sambo Dan Ashafa.
He urged him to “be a beacon of unity, peace and development, promoting harmonious coexistence across the Gusau Emirate and beyond”.
