The Adamawa State House of Assembly has dismissed speculations suggesting that the Lamido Adamawa has been removed as the Life Chairman of the State Council of Emirs and Chiefs.
Musa Mahmoud Kallamu, Chairman of the House Committee on Information, clarified the matter, citing the provisions of the Adamawa State Council of Chiefs Bill. He stated that Section 17 of the bill firmly establishes the council, while Section 18 explicitly outlines its membership, including the Lamido Adamawa as the chairman, alongside other members such as second-class chiefs, the permanent secretary of chieftaincy affairs, and the ALGON chairman.
Kallamu further explained that the establishment of zonal traditional councils with rotational chairmanship does not in any way alter the leadership structure of the state council. These zonal councils will operate under the supervision of the state chairman, Lamido Adamawa.
By addressing these misconceptions, the assembly reaffirmed the Lamido Adamawa’s enduring role as a custodian of traditional leadership in the state.
