The speaker, who represents the Zaria Federal Constituency of Kaduna state in the House, is a prince of the Zazzau Emirate and holds the traditional title of Iyan Zazzau, a position that confers some traditional role on him.

Those assigned with the traditional responsibilities and turbaned under the Iyan Zazzau title are Alhaji Aminu Ramalan (Turakin Iyan Zazzau); Samaila Tajuddeen (Majidadin Iyan Zazzau); Faisal Nuhu Bamalli (Danmorin Iyan Zazzau); Ibrahim Ameer Abbas Tajuddeen (Ciroman Iyan Zazzau); Yahaya Aminu Pate (Mabudin Iyan Zazzau), and Aminu Umar Jamawa (Sarkin Fadan Iyan Zazzau).

Others are Abdallah Abbas Tajuddeen (Dan’Iyan Iyan Zazzau); Bashir Rayyanu (Sulukin Iyan Zazzau); Alhaji Bashir Ahmad Datti (Sarkin Yakin Iyan Zazzau); Alhaji Lamido Shehu (Sarkin Shanun Iyan Zazzau); Alhaji Abubakar Haruna (Zannan Iyan Zazzau), and Lameer Umar (Wakilin Matasan Iyan Zazzau).

Speaking at the turbanning which took place at the family residence in Zaria known as Gidan Iya Abdullahi, Speaker Abbas said those conferred with the traditional titles were carefully chosen and rewarded for their hard work, loyalty, and commitment.

While congratulating the newly turbaned titleholders, the speaker urged them to be good ambassadors of the Zazzau Emirate.

He said: “Today is a day for celebration because Almighty Allah has given us the opportunity to reward some sons of the Zazzau Emirate for their good conduct.

“Those turbaned have been carefully selected for the titles. I congratulate them on this recognition. However, I want to caution them that the titles bestowed on them mean an added responsibility. They are now ambassadors of the Zazzau Emirate, as such, they must show good conduct at all times wherever they find themselves.

“I urge you to be trustworthy and emulate the good leaders of the Zazzau Emirate. As of today, you will bear the names of the principal titleholders who bestowed the titles on you.

Meanwhile, the Jarman Kudun Zazzau, Malam Nuhu Aminu Bamalli, who also turbaned eight titleholders under his fold, enjoined all those turbaned “to be of good conduct and character.”

Those turbaned under the Jarman Kudun Zazzau were Aminu Yahaya as Danmorin Jarman Kudun Zazzau; Tajuddeen Shehu as Mukaddas Jarman Kudun Zazzau; Sani Abubakar Tanko as Madaucin Jarman Kudun Zazzau, and Jafar Abdulkadir Iya Pate as Jakadan Jarman Kudun Zazzau.

Also, Abduljabbar Umar Iya was turbaned as Madubin Jarman Kudun Zazzau; Mujahid Nuhu Bamalli as Sulukin Jarman Kudun Zazzau; Buhari Yahaya as Magayakin Jarman Kudun Zazzau, and Mahmud Aminu Pate as Sallaman Jarman Kudun Zazzau.
