New Emir Of Gusau Emerges

Zamfara state governor, Dauda Lawal, has approved the appointment of Alhaji Abdulkadir Ibrahim Bello as the new Emir and Sarkin Katsina of the Gusau Emirate.

The appointment follows the death of his father, His Royal Highness Dr. Ibrahim Bello, who passed away on July 25, 2025, after a decade-long reign.

Alhaji Abdulkadir, the eldest son of the late Emir and former holder of the traditional title Bunun Gusau, becomes the 16th monarch to ascend the Gusau Emirate throne.

He is a direct descendant of Malam Sambo Dan Ashafa, the Emirate’s founding figure.

The Secretary to the State Government, Malam Abubakar Mohammad Nakwada, confirmed the development, stating that the selection was made based on the recommendation of the Emirate’s kingmakers, in line with tradition and relevant legal procedures.

Governor Lawal, in a congratulatory message, urged the new Emir to build on his father’s legacy and serve as a symbol of peace, unity, and development.

He called on the monarch to promote harmony and inclusive growth across the Emirate and beyond.
