A significant development has emerged in the Kagara Emirate of Niger State, as a formal petition has been submitted to His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Dr. Umar Mohammed Bago.
The petitioners are calling for the suspension and independent review of the recent creation of districts and the appointments of District Heads within the Kagara Emirate.
The petition, signed by M. D. Isah, Principal Partner, was made available to newsmen in Minna. The Kingmakers who also signed the petition represent three districts: Tegina, Kusherki, and Kongoma.
They have expressed deep concerns regarding the ongoing restructuring processes within the Kagara Emirate initiated by the Emir.
The petitioners—Mallam Umar Hassan Idris (Makaman Tegina), Ibrahim Sani (Madakin Kusherki), and Alhaji Ashafa Jibo Garba (Madakin Kongoma)—emphasize the need for fairness and adherence to the rule of law in the creation of districts and the appointment of District Heads.
They assert that the socio-political stability of the emirate depends on a transparent and just administrative process.
Given the sensitive nature of the situation, the petitioners urge Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago to take swift and appropriate action regarding their requests, stressing the implications for peace and good governance in the emirate.
The original petition has been sent to the Governor for review, demonstrating the petitioners’ commitment to lawful leadership in Kagara Emirate.
