Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has appointed seven new traditional rulers after the state recently introduced seven new monarchies.
The new appointees include Sani Ahmadu Ribadu, the younger sibling of National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu.
This comes after the creation of five chiefdoms and two emirates on December 23, 2024.
The newly appointed leaders will hold second-class and third-class titles, a decision aimed at improving local governance by addressing community demands for additional leadership representation.
The new monarchs include Sani Ahmadu Ribadu, now Emir of Fufore; Alheri Nyako, Tol Huba; Bulus Luka Gadiga, Mbege Ka Michika; Ali Danburam, Ptil Madagali; John Dio, Gubo Yungur; Aggrey Ali, Kumu of Gombi; and Ahmadu Saibaru, Emir of Maiha.
