However, Ibrahim Muhammad Who is the The Sarkin Sudan Shinkafi made this known to the news media on Wednesday.
Muhammad, said: “Emir of Shinkafi had appointed their replacement and dismissed insinuations that the emir was compelled to appoint Femi Fani-Kayode as Sardaunan Shinkafi by the powers that be.
“It is the decision of the emirate council to appoint whoever it wishes. Therefore the appointment of Fani-Kayode as Sadaukin Shinkafi has nothing to do with anyone. The emirate has since moved on.”
He further said Aliyu Guraguri was appointed as Sardaunan Shinkafi, Umar Abdullahi as Dan Majen Shinkafi, Bello Shinkafi as Uban Marayun Shinkafi, and Usman Muhammad as Sarkin Shanun Shinkafi.
He added that the emir also made 15 new appointments with some members of the Shinkafi royal family given different titles.
