Yusuf named Alhaji Muhammad Karaye as the Emir of Karaye while Alhaji Muhammad Umar will serve as the Emir of Rano.
The governor explained that the new emirates would serve as second-class emirs with Kano as a first-class emirate.
Umar described the move as the preservation of the sanctity of the Kano Emirate throne.

Speaking on why Bichi emirate was not included in the newly created second-class emirates, he said that shouldn't matter much at the moment.
“I can't say for certain why Bichi wasn't among but it really shouldn't matter much.”
