“We created the emirates in order to reduce the burden on the Kano emirate. The challenges are too weighty on Kano emirate that is why the emirate is running away from centralization of the system.

“The creation of the additional emirates will allow us to re-examine history. This is not something new in Kano, it has happened before.

“We created emirates based on the aspirations and yearnings of our people. I am sure this development will lead to rapid development in the affected areas,” he said adding that the government will not change its opinion despite plans by those he called bad elements to protest.

He said the protests by these “bad elements” are aimed at disrupting peace in Kano.

“You should ensure that your subjects enroll their wards in school while women encouraged to always visit hospital whenever they are pregnant,” he said.
