Wudil indigenes in Kano State have appealed to the State House of Assembly to revisit the recent creation of Gaya Emirate Council under which they have been grouped.
The indigenes made the call shortly after a stakeholders’ meeting on Sunday in Wudil, headquarters of Wudil Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
They further appealed to the State Government to return them to the old Kano Emirate where they believe they rightly belong.
They said the current arrangement is not backed by historical antecedents and is of no benefit to the affected communities.
They pointed out that Wudil town has a different historical background from Gaya, saying that during the Jihad of Shehu Usman Danfodio, Wudil was one of the five royal hubs that were presented with flags.
Kano State government, had created four new emirates and installed new emirs, a decision which has caused an uproar in the state with some describing the move as a personal vendata against the Emir, Mohammad Sanusi II who allegedly supported the PDP in the last election.
