The Emir of Bauchi, Alhaji Rilwanu Adamu, has urged the Conference of Speakers of the State Houses Assembly to support the call of traditional rulers for a role in the Nigerian Constitution.
Adamu spoke when the speakers paid him a courtesy visit on Saturday in Bauchi.
He said traditional leaders did not belong to any political party, pointing out that they enjoyed working with the executive and the legislative arms of government.
