They are a bunch of individuals who don\u2019t even understand history, traditionalists who do not support any form of transformation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore now, the institutions of police, courts and Prisons were all under the control of our traditional institutions. But what is obtainable now is as a result of transformation. No society or institution is static. They are dynamic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the four first-class Emirates were created out of the zeal to develop all nooks and crannies of the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTraditional system is not all about ceremonies or regalia. It is about fusing strategies on how to develop the society; no more, no less.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why we said, times without number, that we need the support and cooperation of our traditional institutions in the areas of health, security, agriculture and education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ganduje challenged his opponents to \u201cgo to those newly created Emirates and tell people there that they (elders) don\u2019t need those Emirates. They cannot do that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery soon, people will suddenly realise that these so-called elders are simply anti-development. Let them go and say they are not in support of the creation of those new Emirates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Governor called on the newly appointed district heads \u201cto always support their Emirs in the discharge of their responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLetters of appointment to all the five first-class Emirs, as members of the Kano State Council of Emirs, were given to them. So, what we are after now is the full take-off of the council.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why I gave directive to the Commissioner of Works and Infrastructural Development to start, in earnest, renovation of the Gidan Shettima, the seat of the council.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on Wednesday described Kano elders as \u2018fake\u2019 and \u2018opportunists\u2019 who hate development.
