First Lady of Kaduna State, Hadiza Isma el-Rufai has appealed to her husband, Governor Nasir el-Rufai, to consider a woman for the vacant stool of Emir of Zazzau.
She made the appeal in a tweet on Friday.
Recall that the last Emir of Zazzau, Dr. Shehu Idris, died on Sunday, September 20.
The governor’s wife appealed for a female Emir in the mold of Queen Amina in the interest of gender equality.
Queen Amina was a Hausa warrior queen of the city-state Zazzau in present-day Zaria, Kaduna who lived between 1533 and 1610.
She was the daughter of King Nikatau, the 22nd ruler of Zazzau.
The First Lady tweeted:
In the interest of gender equality, @elrufai Can we get another Queen Amina of Zazzau?
