Ribadu’s appointment comes amid controversy surrounding the creation of seven new kingdoms in Adamawa State, including the Fufore emirate, in December 2024.
The decision has been met with criticism from some Adamawa residents, including Dr. Ardo, a prominent politician, and Prof. Alkasum, a history teacher, who have declared the emirate illegal and shameful.
The matter is currently before the court.
