The reason for the query is the non-participation of some districts in the traditional Durbar during the last Eid-al-Adha celebrations, two weeks ago.
However, as some observers pointed out, there has been a cold war between the Emir and Governor Dikko Umar Radda in the last six months.
They added that Governor Radda is bent on checkmating the Emirs’ perceived excessess.
Part of the governor’s plan, the observers who prefer to remain anonymous said, is to restructure the Emirate, bring on board some of the Emir’s sworn “detractors,” and appoint them to strategic traditional stools.
Incidentally, the governor and the Emir are blood relations. The Emir himself said so publicly during the 2023 electioneering campaign.
