Three other Local Governments (Mashi, Bindawa and Dutsi) were however carved from the Old Mani Local Government Area.
Traditionally, Mani is indisputably believed to be the root of the ''Sullubawa'' ruling dynasty of Katsina Emirate because the founder of the dynasty, Muhammadu Dikko, was the District Head of Mani during the reign of Sarkin Katsina Abubakar. From then onward, the traditional ruler of the District was known and called Durbin Katsina and one of the king makers of the emirate.
