Former Emir of Gaya, Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir Gaya, who was among the dethroned five Emirs in Kano State, said he has accepted his removal as an act of God.
The former Emir is among the five first-class kings who were affected by the repeal of the law that balkanized the Kano Emirate and elevated them.
Grassroots Parrot recalled that ex-Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had appointed new emirs in 2019 and dethroned Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi as emir of Kano the following year.

However, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf sacked all the emirs appointed by Ganduje on Thursday after signing the new law.
The governor thereafter gave the ousted emirs 48 hours to vacate their palaces and hand them over to the Commissioner of Chieftaincy and Local Government Affairs.
Reacting to the development in an interview with BBC Hausa on Sunday, Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir said he bore no grudge against anybody.
The deposed monarch noted that he had no plan to challenge the action in court and was ready to serve in another capacity if given the opportunity.
