he Kano House of Assembly Majority Leader, Lawal Hussaini Chediyar Yan Gurasa, on Thursday, disclosed that all five emirs in the state have been removed.

The governor assented to an amendment to the law on 14 October, 2020 and signed another amendment on 11 April, 2023.
Section 12 provides that the governor may grade the office of an emir first, second, or third class subject to the approval of the House of Assembly.
Meanwhile, Governor Abba Yusuf is expected to sign the law
