Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has promised to report Justice Mohammed Liman of a Federal High Court for allegedly giving an order stopping the reinstatement of Sanusi Lamido as the 16th Emir of Kano from the United States.
Justice Liman had granted the order in an application filed by the Sarkin Dawaki Babba of the Kano Emirate, Aminu Babba Dan Agundi, to stop the Kano State Government from enforcing the Kano State Emirate Council Repeal Law which dethroned all five Emirs in the state.
However, Yusuf, while reacting to the court order after issuing the reinstatement letter to Lamido at the State House, said the judge issued the court order from America, promising to present the matter before the Governor’s Forum, to be tackle accordingly.
According to the process, his government will always uphold the rule of law and follow due process, noting that his words are justified by the transparency in the reinstallation of the emir.
Sanusi was reinstalled following a new law signed by Governor Yusuf, which replaces the Kano State Emirates Council Law, 2019, and dissolves the emirate councils created by former governor Ganduje.
