Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has ordered the Emirs who were removed following the return of Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi as Emir of Kano to vacate their palaces within 48 hours.
Affected by the order were the five emirs appointed by former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
Ganduje had split Kano emirate into five and appointed an emir for each.
Among the newly created Emirates were Karaye, Gaya, Bichi and Rano.
But the Kano House of Assembly controlled by the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) had repealed the law which Ganduje used to make the changes.
The lawmakers had transmitted their bill to Governor Yusuf who signed it into law on Thursday evening.
Addressing a media briefing after signing the law, Governor Yusuf directed the sacked monarchs to vacate official residences and palaces and hand over to the Commissioner of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs within two days.
