A new Emirate for the state of Gombe in Nigeria

According to a prerogative in the Nigerian Federal as well as states constitution, which gives Governors the power to create new Emirates  Districts, Villages and Wards as well as the appointment and disposition of Emirs and Chiefs based on recommendation of the kingmakers of the community, a new Emirate was created and Emir was appointed.

This thus leads to the creation of the Yamaltu Emirate in Dadinkowa, Yamaltu Deba Local Government Area and the appointment of Alhaji Abubakar Ali as the new Emir of Yamaltu.
