Ganduje signs law creating new emirates in Kano
A High Court in Kano on Tuesday granted an interim injunction to stop the Kano State Government from constituting the new council of chiefs and appointing its members.

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje last week signed a new law in Kano approving the creation of four new emirates and the appointment of first-class emirs for each of them.

The law also establishes the council of chiefs.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how Mr Ganduje appointed the Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi, as the head of the council of chiefs, while the four newly appointed emirs are members.

The governor also ordered Mr Sanusi, who many believe the new law was aimed at whittling his powers, to call a meeting of the council.

Before the new law, the emir of Kano was the only first-class emir in the state.

An earlier similar law passed by the Kano parliament at the behest of Mr Ganduje was invalidated by the court.

The new law was presented to the parliament and passed into law within three days last week.

On Tuesday, however, the judge, Ahmed Badamosi, ordered a stoppage of the council of chiefs.

He also granted an order restraining Mr Ganduje from taking away the functions and powers of the applicants.

He then adjourned the case to December 17.

The plaintiffs in the suit are Kano kingmakers headed by the Madakin Kano, Yusuf Nabahani, and Muktar Adnan.

The defendants are the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly as the first respondent, Kano State House of Assembly as the second respondent, Governor of Kano State as third respondent, Attorney General of Kano State as fourth respondent and the four newly appointed emirs of Rano, Karaye, Gaya and Bichi.

Efforts to speak to Abba Anwar, the media aide to Mr Ganduje, on the court order were not successful.

It is already the law, the court is only allowing the complainants their fundamental rights to oppose, DOA, Dead On Arrival.

The judge is aware that Granduje and the House can withold their Christmas bonuses and benefits, so other judges are watching curiously.

Court dey style support Emir S .God dey)

The same people that made the law, are the same people that made the law, establishing the court, no one is supporting the emir, due process is to only been adhered to, a law has been established by Kano state, it is law, the court can only interpret the law.

A law established by the State House of Assembly and assented to by the Governor is beef with a traditional ruler? I hope you are aware that the Emir of Kano is on the payroll of Kano State Government?

Your point being what? Are you saying Ganduje cant be mad at someone on his payroll. His motives are pretty transparent to modt people observing.

Try get sense, it is not about Granduje, it was passed by the people, The State House of Assembly, and assented to by the Governor of the state as required by law, it is finished, unless they themselves repel the law.

You seem to 2d thinker since you don't know political favors exist. Lol you dont see why these bills get rushed through in less than a week. The splitting of Emirate was never a big concern for the people. Who was complaining before?

Busy Body, Interloper, are you from Kano State, why cry more than the bereaved? Demon.

The People of Kano State have spoken and have finally broken the unanimous powers of the Emir of ancient tradition, and you are here purporting to complain because you hate Gaduje, because he supports President Buhari, please don't think we don't know your biased source of hatred?

Lol I gave too much credit claiming your a 2d thinker. Where did I say their actions are wrong? I just pointed out the motives you started crying saying it for the people? Stop the emotional tempter tantrums not everyone emotionally invested like yourself.

Its clear the underlying tension between those two. That's why he called in political favor to rush bills to split emirate. In your naive mind everything these politicians do for pure and benevolent purposes with the people in mind. If I dont agree its because of hatred how childish.

Sanusi fights back. Gandollar go vex o.
