WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2004           Emirates creation:  Jokolo says no qualms From KABIRU YUSUF, Birnin Kebbi AS crisis over the creation two new emirate councils from the present Gwandu Emirate looms, the Emir of Gwandu, Alhaji Al-Mustapha Haruna Jokolo has said that he has no grudges against anybody. According to the emir who stated this while receiving Vice President Atiku Abubakar in his palace last weekend, he never had any grudge or accused Governor Aliero on the proposed new emirates. �I heard all the rumour and gossips that my emirate and Governor Aliero are at daggers-drawn over the proposed plan to create Jega and Aliero Emirates out of the present Gwandu Emirate. But let me make it clear that I have nothing against Aliero or anybody,� he stated. Jokolo who said that he has no objection over the issue, however, charged all his subjects to remain calm as nothing will happen without God�s will: �You should know that man�s proposal may not be God�s proposal,� he added. The emir then appealed to the federal government to consider Abdullahi Gwandu�s palace as a National Monument, arguing that the late scholar deserves to be posthumously honoured with such kind of gesture. He also stressed the need for federal government to rehabilitate the palace which he said is currently in dire need of total rehabilitation though the state government is doing its best to maintain it. Alhaji Jakolo while commending the vice president for his outstanding contributions to the construction of Yola Central Mosque, rehabilitation of Lamido Palace, 200 years of Sokoto Caliphate among others, further urged him to assist in providing library complex for Jama�atu Nasrul Islam. In his remark, Alhaji Abubakar stated that he was in Birnin Kebbi to attend the closing ceremony of the 19th National Qur�anic Recitation Competition, adding that he is highly impressed with the insfrastural development provided by Governor Adamu Aliero administration in the state.
