Reinstated Emir of Gaya receives appointment letter from Kano Governor

His Royal Highness Alhaji Aliyu Abdulkadir Gaya has officially received his appointment letter to serve as the new Emir of Gaya Emirate.

This development marks a significant reinstatement, as he is the only one among the five deposed emirs to be reinstated by the Executive Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf.

The reinstatement follows the assent of a new law by the Kano State House of Assembly, which permits the creation of three second-class emirs of Gaya, Rano, and Karaye.

The Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, highlighted that HRH Aliyu Ibrahim’s reinstatement was based on his merit and unwavering commitment to the people of the Gaya Emirate, which includes Gaya, Ajingi, and Albasu Local Government Areas.

“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 read.

HRH Aliyu Abdulkadir Gaya arrived at the Kano Government House accompanied by all the kingmakers and other titleholders of the emirate, reaffirming his dedication to serve and uplift the Gaya Emirate.
