He disclosed that the Kano state emirate council amendment bill was considered on the floor of the house after scaling second and third reading on Thursday morning.
Butu explained that repealing the law would revive the lost glory of Kano as the division of Kano emirate to five reduced the capacity and dignity of the state at national level.
The majority leader Lawan Hussaini Dala that the emirate council served as a custodian of culture which was distorted by the creation of additional emirates.
