The Potiskum Emirate (or Pataskum Emirate) is a traditional state in Nigeria, with headquarters in Potiskum, Yobe State. The emir holds the title "Mai".

The emirate was founded in 1809.

In 1913 the British colonial rulers merged it into the Fika Emirate. In 2000 it was again made an independent emirate.

Both the Fika and Potiskum emirates have their headquarters in the city of Potiskum, and there are continued disputes over land and authority.

Original emirate

The Potiskum Emirate was organized by the Ngizim people, who had subjugated the Karakare people.{{sfn|Whitaker|2015|p=384}}

The state was formed in 1809 by a Chief of the Ngizim named Mai Bauya or Buyan.{{sfn|World Statesmen}}

In the 19th century people of the Misau emirate often raided the Kerikeri country.

The Misau Emir Amadu (1834–48) captured the capital, Potiskum. Usuman (1848–61) and Sale (1861–85) also raided the Kerikeri.{{sfn|Fremantle|1912|p=188}}

In 1901 the Potiskum Emirate became part of the British Northern Nigeria Protectorate.{{sfn|World Statesmen}}

Within Fika Emirate

The neighboring Fika Emirate had been founded by the Bolewa, said to be Kanembu in origin.

They moved to the area and subjugated the local Ngamo people.{{sfn|Whitaker|2015|p=384}}

Fika town, the traditional capital, is about {{convert|60|km}} south of Potiskum.

The Emir of Fika is one of the leading traditional rulers in the north of Nigeria.{{sfn|Schuh|1996|p=620}}

In 1909 the western part of Potiskum was merged into the Fika Emirate, and on 13 May 1913 the eastern portion was also merged into Fika for administrative convince by the colonial rulers tgen.{{sfn|World Statesmen}}

At the time of merger the Fika Emirate had a population of 25,400 including Bolewa, Gamawa, Kerikeri and Shira people, with an area of {{convert|990|sqmi}}.

The Potiskum Emirate had a population of 11,500 with an area of {{convert|320|sqmi}}.{{sfn|Monsell|Elder|1919|loc=PT175}}

The Fika Emirate thus had authority over the Bolewa and Ngamawa people of Fina and Gadaka {{sfn|Whitaker|2015|p=384}}

The Bolewa Wrongly claimed title to the land which was founded by the Ngizim people. {{sfn|Blench|Longtau|Hassan|Walsh|2006|p=44}}

In the 1920s the main east-west road was built through Potiskum, which became a commercial and political center.{{sfn|Schuh|1996|p=620}}

The emir's court moved to Potiskum in 1924.{{sfn|Blench|Longtau|Hassan|Walsh|2006|p=44}}

In the 1950s the Ngizim and Karekare Union political association represented the subject people of Bornu province, allied with the Northern Elements Progressive Union (NEPU).

The ruling Bolewa tribe was identified with the dominant Northern People's Congress (NPC).{{sfn|Whitaker|2015|p=384}}

The Potiskum emirate was recreated by Yobe State governor Bukar Ibrahim on 5 August 1993, when he split the state's four emirates into 13. This change was reversed by the military regime of Sani Abacha that took control later that year.{{sfn|Ola Amupitan|2002}}

Modern emirate

In his second term after the return to democracy, on 6 January 2000, Yobe Governor Bukar Ibrahim re-implemented the new emirates, adding Gazargamo, Gujba, Nguru, Tikau, Pataskum, Yusufari, Gudi, Fune and Jajere.{{sfn|Ola Amupitan|2002}}

In June 2010 the Emir of Potiskum gave the title of "Turakin Potiskum" to the state's former commissioner of finance, Alhaji Mohamed Hassan, in recognition of his contributions to the development of the state.{{sfn|Sunday Isuwa|2010}}

In March 2011 Emir Umaru Bubaram gave his support to the campaign of Ibrahim Geidam for a second term as Yobe governor on the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) platform.{{sfn|Kabir Matazu|2011}}

In May 2012 more than thirty people were killed in an attack in the Potiskum Market.
