Governor Ahamadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has appointed seven new traditional rulers, among them Sani Ahmadu Ribadu, who is the younger brother of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu.

The new appointments followed the recent creation of seven monarchies by the governor.

Governor Fintiri, in response to public outcry, created five chiefdoms and two emirates on December 23, 2024, comprising four second-class and three third-class statuses.

Those appointed are Sani Ahmadu Ribadu, 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.

The spokesperson for the governor, Humwashi Wonosikou, in a statement emphasised that “their selections were based on merit and their popularity among the people”.
