Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Protesters are currently on the streets of Gaya, one of the five emirates affected by the repealed Kano Emirates Council Law.<\/p>\n

The New Nigeria People\u2019s Party, NNPP, controlled House of Assembly had repealed the law which ex-Governor Abdullahi Ganduje used to dethrone Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II in 2020.<\/p>\n

Assenting to the law on Thursday, Governor Abba Yusuf announced the dissolution of the four extra emirates created by Ganduje.<\/p>\n

The emirates are Rano, Gaya, Karaye and Bichi.<\/p>\n

The governor also ordered all the monarchs, including Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir, Emir of Gaya, to hand over to Comrade Abdulsalam Gwarzo, Deputy Governor, who oversees the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affair.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that the dethroned Emir vacated the palace at midnight on Thursday.<\/p>\n

There was no sign of any form of violence or resistance in the town as there was the presence of armed security personnel.<\/p>\n

According to Daily Trust, a resident, Abubakar Shuaibu, had said some people were not happy with the development.<\/p>\n

But on Sunday morning, residents trooped to the streets to reject the dissolution of the emirate.<\/p>\n

Wielding placards and chanting anti-government songs, the protesters alleged injustice, saying the dissolution of the emirate has political undertones.<\/p>\n
