While issuing the Staff of Office to the emir, Governor Yusuf urged him to lead by example and represent his people as expected.
He expressed confidence that the emir would sustain the legacy of his late father by upholding social justice in accordance with the teachings of Islam.
Governor Yusuf tweeted:
“I had the honour of presenting the Staff of Office to His Royal Highness, The Emir of Gaya, Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir, today in Gaya.
“I used the opportunity to urge the royal father to lead by example and represent his people with equity and fairness.
“The Emir of Gaya is a man of integrity, simplicity and honesty, I’m confident that he will continue to lead the good people of his emirate with exemplary leadership and integrity.”
Meanwhile, the Emir, now with second class status, was reinstated after the reinstatement of the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
Emir Abdulkadir had accepted dethroning after the repeal of the Kano Emirates law by the State House of Assembly and was subsequently reappointed by the governor, Daily Trust reported.
