Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has approved the appointment of Alhaji Suleiman Sa’ad Abubakar as the new Emir of Kagarko, following the death of the former monarch, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar.
The appointment, which takes immediate effect, was announced in a statement issued on Monday by the Kaduna State Commissioner for Local Government, Alhaji Sadiq Mamman Lagos.
According to the commissioner, the new emir, who until his appointment held the traditional title of San Turakin Kagarko, emerged after what he described as a rigorous selection process conducted by the kingmakers of the Kagarko Emirate Council.
“The appointment followed a rigorous selection process by the kingmakers of the Kagarko Emirate Council, during which a pool of contestants was screened before Suleiman Sa’ad Abubakar was eventually selected,” the statement read.
