The Adamawa State House of Assembly has debunked rumors that the Lamido Adamawa has been stripped of his title as Life Chairman of the state council of emirs and chiefs.
According to Musa Mahmoud Kallamu, Chairman of the House Committee on Information on Friday in a press conference, the bill establishing the Adamawa State Council of Chiefs clearly states that the Lamido Adamawa shall be the chairman of the council.
Kallamu explained that Section 17 of the bill establishes the Adamawa State Council of Chiefs, while Section 18 outlines the membership of the council, which includes chiefs, second-class chiefs, the permanent secretary of chieftaincy affairs, and the ALGON chairman.
He emphasized that the Lamido Adamawa’s position as chairman is not affected by the creation of zonal traditional councils, which will have rotational chairmanship but report to the state chairman, Lamido Adamawa.
