For example, Legit.ng reported recently that Governor Ganduje on Sunday, July 7, said that the new additional four emirates in the state have come to stay. The governor stated this when he paid a condolence visit to the emir of Rano, Alhaji (Dr) Tafida Abubakar (Autan Bawo), over the death of his son, Aliyu Tafida, who lived for 20 years. Ganduje's first and second attempts were scuttled by the court. In December 2019, the second attempt by Ganduje to create the four emirates from the original structure of the state's traditional council was dashed by a high court. The report has said the court sitting in Kano and presided over by Justice Ahmed Badamosi ruled that the plan to create the new emirates must be stopped forthwith. It said that the ruling was given on Tuesday, December 10, adding that the court further halted the governor's appointment of heads of the new emirates into the state's traditional council.
