KANO (Sundiata Post) – The people of Bichi, under the auspices of the Bichi Emirate Forum, have called for the reversal of the law newly promulgated by the Kano State House of Assembly which dissolved the five emirates in the state.
They also insisted that they would not accept any decision that undermines the autonomy of their emirate.
The Secretary of the forum, Alhaji Bello Bichi, made the call while addressing newsmen in Kano on Tuesday.
Bichi highlighted the significant development strides recorded by the Bichi emirate since its inception, including the employment of over 3,000 youths and various projects in health, education, economy, and infrastructure.
He emphasized that the emirate has also witnessed cultural development, such as moon sightings and Sallah durbars, which have brought immense benefits to the people.
Bichi stressed that the people of Bichi would not accept any second-class emir or district head.
He reiterated that the entire people in the 19 local government areas under the Bichi emirate have corroborated their stand.
The Chairman of the forum, Aminu Abdulrahman Bichi, called on the authorities to intervene and compel the Kano State Assembly to reverse the new law, describing it as ‘unwise and selfish’.
He emphasized that the emirates serve as development centres, urging that they should be allowed to continue their good work.
”The forum demands an immediate reversal of the law to restore the autonomy of the Bichi emirate.” ( NAN)
