The contestants in a petition to the Niger State Governor Abubakar Bello, signed by one of the contestants, Barrister Mika Anache, described the process followed by the kingmakers as a sham.
The contestants also called on Governor Abubakar Bello, to replace the Commissioner For Local Government, Community Development and Chieftaincy Affairs, Abdul-Malik Sarkin Daji, to give room for a transparent, free and fair exercise.
They assured the Governor and the people of Kwantagora Emirate, of their readiness to accept the outcome of a new Emir as requested.
