Ganduje’s daughter defends creation of new emirates

Fateema Ganduje-Ajimobi, daughter of Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has defended the creation of four new emirates in the state.

Ganduje has since received a court order to stop the appointment of emirs for the new emirates, but he says the order came a little too late.

The governor signed a law on Wednesday creating four additional emirates – Gaya, Rano, Karaye, and Bichi – a move widely seen as depletion of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi’s influence.

The matter immediately took a political dimension with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members in the House of Assembly saying that the new emirates were not properly created, accusing the All Progressives Congress (APC) majority of disregarding extant parliamentary procedures.

Fateemah who is married to a son of Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, in an Instagram post on Saturday made reference to a damning post by one of Sanusi’s daughters and said that she would not support the condemnation of her father.

“You want me to stand for this! Never, learn to handle what you serve. #bewareofsuchInRamadan,” Fateemah wrote.
