Zubairu, Zubeiru or Zubayru bin Adama (died 1903) was a ruler of the Adamawa Emirate founded by his father, Modibo Adama. By the time he came to the throne in 1890, the emirate was threatened by the Germans, French and English. Zubairu attempted "a hopeless, though spirited, rearguard action" against European attrition of the emirate.[1]
