The Council cited Zakari’s criticism of the recently launched dual carriageway project in Ningi township, specifically the Bauchi–Ningi–Kano road, as posted on social media by State Governor Bala Mohammed, as a significant factor leading to his dethronement. Additionally, the council pointed out Zakari’s perceived lack of commitment to the Emirate’s development as a contributing factor.
In a letter dated November 17, 2023, written in Hausa and signed by Council Secretary Sulaiman Shehu Burra, the decision was communicated. The translated letter reads, “Warmest greetings and best wishes to you. After this salutation, I have been directed to inform you that His Royal Highness, the Emir of Ningi, in consultation with his Council, has removed from you your traditional title of Kauran Ningi effective today, Friday, 17th November, 2023.”
The letter further stated, “Consequently upon your lackadaisical attitude towards the development and growth of the Ningi Emirate. As well as condemning and rubbishing the developmental project the Emirate had yearned for over a long period in terms of a dual carriageway in Ningi township, the Bauchi – Ningi – Kano road, as heard in the social media.”
The controversy surrounding the award of the 11-kilometer Ningi-Gudduba township road project at a cost of over N10.3 billion by the Bauchi State government was also noted. Zakari was among those questioning the project’s cost.
In response to his removal, Zakari expressed gratitude for his past title but vowed to address the reasons behind his removal at a later time. In a Facebook post in Hausa, he wrote, “Today, Friday, 17/11/2023, HRH Emir of Ningi and his Emirate Council removed me from the title of Kauran Ningi. The reason for the decision, as contained in the letter to that effect, I am challenging them. I will speak on that at a later and appropriate time. However, I am very appreciative of HRH, the Emir of Ningi, for finding me worthy and agreeing to honour me with the title of Kauran Ningi since 2007.” He concluded by requesting to be addressed simply as “Malam Salisu.”
