Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has said the Emir of Gaya, Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir, was reinstated due to his unwavering faith, humility, and total submission to the will of Allah when he was dethroned.
Yusuf made this known when the monarch visited the Government House to pay Sallah homage on Thursday.
He said when the Emir of Gaya was dethroned, he neither resisted nor protested but instead accepted it in good faith and placed his trust in Allah.
“It is this rare display of humility and patience that earned him his reinstatement,” the governor said.
He reassured the Emir of his administration’s commitment to the comprehensive development of the Gaya Emirate, noting that efforts are already underway to improve key infrastructure in the area.
He disclosed that a team of engineers has been deployed to assess roads and other critical infrastructure needs in the Emirate, with actual construction set to commence soon.
