Tension between Zamfara State government and the 17 Emirate Councils has continued to rise as arrangements are underway by the government of Dauda Lawal to dethrone Some Emirs.
Reports from the state say strategies are currently being built by the state government for actualising the plans.
According to some sources who preferred to remain unanimous, said the government is planning to use mining consent as the basis for the detronement as the justification for the sacking of the emirs.
However, according to some sources, the actual reason responsible for government decision was the government perceived cold feet of the traditional rulers, especially at this crucial time for re-election campaign.
Further investigations by the online newspaper, the Link News revealed that the traditional rulers are unhappy with Dauda lawal's policies particularly the sacking of over Three Thousands workers and his failure to fulfill his campaign promise of dealing with insecurity within two weeks of his administration.
The Link News further gathered that since he assumed office as the Gov of the state, none of the emirs was given the 25 percent Emirate Monthly Cash Allocation as enshrined in the Nigerian constitution.
Our investigative Journalist Garba Danladi who is currently in Zamfara State to monitor the State government move on the development, gathered that governor Dauda Lawal has politically lost the supports of the Emirs already fingered for the detronement.
An aggrieved Senior Council Member from one the Emirates who pleaded ananomity for his security due to the sensitivity of the development, reveals to News Link that , "the only offense of the Emirs was was their collective resolved to push for more decisive action against banditry in the state, as allegedly rumoured.
This alleged collective disagreement with the governor of not giving serious attention to secure the lives and property of their subjects has been the bane of contention between the Gov and the eminrs," said Garba Danladi.
More details on the development come soon as our reporters updated us.
