GOVERNOR EL-RUFAI INSTALLS NUHU BAMALLI AS NEW EMIR OF ZAZZAU
Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, on Monday, November 9, presented Ahmad Nuhu Bamalli with the staff of office as the 19th Emir of Zazzau.
Recall, Eons Intelligence reported that Bamalli was appointed on October 7 to succeed Shehu Idris who died in September after reigning for 45 years.
Speaking during the installation ceremony which was held in Zaria, Kaduna State, El-Rufai urged Bamalli to discharge his duties bearing in mind that his era is different from that of his predecessors.
El-Rufai, who described the occasion as a historic moment, said he is the first elected public servant to appoint an Emir of Zazzau in an independent, democratic setting.
“I am delighted to join the people of Zazzau Emirate for the presentation of the Staff of Office to His Highness, Ambassador Ahmad Nuhu Bamalli, the 19th Emir of Zazzau, the first born after independence. This is a historic moment.

“Your Highness ascends the throne in a much changed era to that of your illustrious predecessors. These are more modern times, with fresh opportunities and many old and new challenges. Ours is an incredibly young state, with 89% of residents being younger than 35 years.
“This occasion of handing over the Staff of Office to the 19th Fulani Emir of Zazzau is taking place exactly 100 years since the colonial Governor of Northern Region, Herbert Symonds Goldsmith, unjustly deposed your grandfather, Emir Aliyu Dan-Sidi of blessed memory,” he said.
