Gov Fintiri Strips Atiku Of Traditional Chieftaincy Titles

Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has revoked the traditional titles held by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Governor Boni Haruna, and others, including his own title, as part of the restructuring of emirates in Adamawa State.

During the coronation of the newly installed Chief of Madagali, Governor Fintiri announced that traditional titles previously conferred under the old jurisdictions were no longer valid.

He said that all District Heads must now align with the newly created emirates and chiefdoms.

As a result of the directive, Fintiri relinquished his title of Sarki Yaki Mubi, Atiku lost his position as Waziri Adamawa, and Haruna forfeited Makama Mubi, alongside others impacted by the changes.

The governor noted that the Lamido of Adamawa could submit Atiku’s and others’ names for reconsideration, but any reappointment would require his final approval.

He also directed traditional councils in the newly formed emirates to propose fresh titles for approval in accordance with customary laws.
