The Kano State House of Assembly has dissolved all four newly created emirates councils in the state.
The dissolution of the affected Emirates was a sequel to deliberations on the floor of the House during plenary on Thursday.
Earlier, the Deputy Speaker, Muhammad Butu, explained that repealing the law would revive the lost glory of Kano as the division of Kano emirate to five reduced the capacity and dignity of the state at the national level.
The Majority Leader, Alhaji Lawan Dala, said that the emirate council served as a custodian of culture, which was distorted by the creation of the four additional emirates.

With the amendment of the law, all four new emirate councils were abolished, leaving only the Kano Emirate.
The House also adopted a motion to create a new second-class emirate council in the state and initiated steps to amend the Kano State Emirs (Appointment and Deposition) Law.
The move could pave the way for the return of the deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II.
