Governor Abba Yusuf had on Thursday officially announced the re-appointment of Emir Sanusi shortly after g a new bill on the Kano Emirate into law.

Speaking shortly after g the law, Governor Yusuf described the event as historic, and thanked the state of Assembly for performing their constitutional duties.

He said the Kano state Emirate law 2019 that divided the over 1000 years Kano Emirate into five has been repealed.

Governor Yusuf announced the reappointment of Muhammad Sanusi 11 as the Emir of Kano and gave the five Emirs appointed by former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to vacate their official residence and ove their instruments of power r to the Commissioner of Local Government Affairs, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo who doubles as the state Deputy Governor.

Our Correspondent reports that earlier on Thursday, Kano State House of Assembly ed the Kano Emirates Council bill 2024, abolishing the five Emirates crested by Ganduje.

Ganduje had carved out Bichi Gaya, Karaye, Rano and Kano Emirates , before dethroning the former Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi 11

With the age of the bill into law, the five Emirs in Kano have been dethroned.

However, all offices created under the repealed law have been dissolved, and district heads appointed or elevated under the previous legislation are to revert to their former positions.

The bill, titled the Kano State Emirates Council (Amendment No. 2) Law, 2024, was sponsored by Lawan Hussaini Chediyar Yan Gurasa, the Majority Leader and representative of the Dala Constituency.

The original law, enacted under former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje on December 5, 2019, was amended twice: first on October 14, 2020, and again on April 11, 2023. Section 3(1) of the law had established the five distinct emirates, distributing jurisdiction over the 44 local government areas in the state.

Following the deposition of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi on March 9, 2020, the law was amended to designate the Emir of Kano as the chairman of the council.

Section 12 of the law allowed the Governor to grade emir offices as first, second, or third class with the Assembly’s approval.

What is a country with an Alibaba Judile Judiciary?

The erosion of this country breaks my heart to no end.

I hate to see Nigeria erased and gone truly to the dogs.

Sad...

Court can do nothing about something already decided by the legislature. It is the new law and the court must obey it

Which

Politicians have totally denigrated and destroyed our traditional institutions!

What surprises me here is that, the judge gave an order late yesterday, and certified true copy was also ready that same day, so government officials are so fast with discharging their responsibility?

Since when did they become so effective? the officials that , once it's 3:30pm they're already outside office waiting for their staff bus?

History will repeat itself

Cruise nation!😊

Nothing, my bros. As long as it's not against Tinubu or any of it's ers, it must be bad judiciary. Just like when a third was not allowed to overtake to first, judiciary was corrupt For Obi ers any judgement against Tinubu or his aides is perfect judgement no matter the facts. They are the real definition of Zombies !

I have saved the name of the Judge and the kangaroo judgement! He will have to recourse himself from any future case that reasonable Nigerians have.

Unfortunately, the caged birth has escaped before the attempt to shut the door 😂😂😂

The act has already been done

What is there to restrain

Let's see who will obey the court order in a lawless country like Nigeria.

Zoo

No locus standi in the matter , status quo means Emir Sanusi continues to seat pending the vacation of the suit ..

They celebrate when the court throws them a win, but start shouting corrupt judiciary when the judgement doesn't favour them lol.

Anyway, I do hope Sanusi is actually reinstated, and he needs to stay out of politics after, else politician would make a mess of that Emir of Kano seat.

After the fact

Ehen?

Kingship and traditional rulers are a state matter, Kings are not recognized under federal law. What is the business of the federal high court?
