The Five Shinkafi Emirate Council members in Zamfara State relinquished their chieftaincy titles over the conferment of a title on a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode.
The conferment of Sadaukin Shinkafi title on Fani-Kayode by the Emir of Shinkafi, Alhaji Muhammad Isah Makwashe, has elicited a lot of criticisms from different quarters in the state.
Those who resigned their positions as members of the emirate council are: Sardaunan Shinkafi, Alhaji Bilyaminu Shinkafi; Iyar Shinkafi Hajiya Hadiza Abdulaziz Yari; Uban Marayun Shinkafi, Dr Tijjani Salihu Shinkafi; Dan Majen Shinkafi, Alhaji Umar Bala Ajiya, and Sarkin Shanun Shinkafi, Dr Suleiman Shuaibu Shinkafi.
On his part, Alhaji Bilyaminu Shinkafi revealed that his decision to resign his position as Sardaunan Shinkafi was because he was not consulted when certain decisions were made.
He said the conferment of a title on the Fani-Kayode was unfortunate.
On her part, Hajiya Hadiza Abdulaziz Yari said her religion was bastardised and her husband, a former governor, Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar, was humiliated, and that she would never be a party to such irresponsible act.
A source revealed that the emir had earlier attempted to withdraw the title after its conferment was greeted with a barrage of criticisms but he was stopped.
"There was an attempt by the emirate council to release an announcement of its withdrawal of the title but there was an order from above that the emirate should halt the move," the source said.
