Kingship

About the time of the formation of the Koro Chiefdom by the Kaduna State government in December 2000, an election was held to select the first Ere-Koro, held among three contestants from the three ruling have including: Yohanna Akaito (JP) (Ashe/Ala ruling house), Abubakar G. Husaini (Miya-Miya ruling house) and Engr. Danbaba T. Tukura (Ache/Wachi ruling house), under the coordination of the secretary General of the Koro Community Development Association with assistance from Lawrence A.

His 20 years reign was celebrated in January 2021.^[6]
