Please, this is not a fight, it's an opinion. Kindly agree or disagree with modesty of speech.

Mixed reactions are trailing the removal of five first-class emirs in Kano State and the disbandment of the emirates, Daily Trust Saturday reports

A Federal High Court, Kano Division, had issued an order stopping the Kano State Government from proscribing the four emirate councils and the dethronement of their emirs, including the Emir of Kano, who was replaced by Muhammadu Sanusi 11.

Justice Mohammed Liman granted the order in an application by Alhaji Aminu Babba Dan Agundi, the Sarkin Dawaki Babba of the Kano Emirate.

It would be recalled that former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje divided the Kano Emirate into five, creating and appointing first-class emirs for Bichi, Rano, Karaye and Gaya emirates after amending the Emirate Councils Law.

On Thursday, hours after the Kano State House of Assembly repealed the law, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf deposed the emirs.

These include the 15th Fulani Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero; the Emir of Bichi, Alhaji Nasir Ado Bayero; the Emir of Rano, Alhaji Kabiru Muhammad Inuwa; the Emir of Karaye, Alhaji Ibrahim Abubakar II and the Emir of Gaya, Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir.

Our correspondents report that the recent development has elicited divergent reactions.

In Karaye, findings revealed that the deposed emir vacated his palace Thursday night as sympathisers gathered to bid him farewell.


There was noticeable presence of security personnel stationed within the palace and in some strategic places in Karaye town.

Also, members of the community were seen conducting their normal activities but with serious concerns over the developing situation.

Abdullahi Ali, a trader said: “It is a difficult situation for all of us. Honestly, I am afraid I cannot say anything.”

Malam Sani, who works in the local government area said, “Whatever you see is from Allah.”

In Bichi, the horses of the deposed emir, Nasiru Ado Bayero, were reportedly evacuated from the palace, together with his other personal belongings.

Gates leading to the palace were manned by security operatives, although residents were seen going about their normal businesses as Friday was market day in Bichi.

“The emir left days before the announcement of his removal. It was nostalgic, honestly,” said Ismail, a school teacher.

Bintu, who said she was indifferent said: “Our prayer is that politicians would find a way of sorting out their differences instead of using traditional institutions to settle scores.

“Look at what is happening; the truth is that it is not worth it because all the emirs are related. It is one family, things like these can create bad blood,” she said.

Similarly, in Gaya, people were seen going about their activities.

Residents said the former emir vacated the palace at midnight on Thursday.

Also, there was no sign of any form of violence or resistance in the town, even as there was the presence of armed security personnel within the town.

A resident, Abubakar Shuaibu, said some people were not happy with the development.

There was similar deployment of security operatives in Rano Emirate.


Our correspondents made efforts to speak with people within the traditional institutions in all the delisted emirates but they were not forthcoming.

Mixed Feelings In Karaye, Bichi, Gaya, Rano As Dethroned Emirs Leave divided over High Court order

Lawyers in Kano were divided yesterday on whether or not the Federal High Court that granted an interim injunction restraining operationalisation of the Kano Emirate Councils (Repeal) Law 2024 has jurisdiction in the matter.

Our correspondent reports that when Babba Dan Agundi, who is a senior title holder rushed to the Federal High Court in Kano, he pleaded with the judge, through his lawyers, to restrain all relevant stakeholders not to temper with the existing emirates.

The respondents in the fundamental rights case are the Kano State Government, the House of Assembly, the Speaker, the Attorney-General, Commissioner of Police, Inspector-General of Police, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the State Security Service.

Speaking on the development, Bashir Muhammad Tudun Wazirci, a lawyer, who defended Governor Yusuf at the Election Petition Tribunal, up to the Supreme Court, said that the judge who granted the order knew that he had no jurisdiction in the case, being a chieftaincy affair.


Tudun Wazirci said although the order had not been served on them, he was only commenting based on what he read in the social media.

Another lawyer, Umar Danbaito, said section 251 of the 1999 Constitution, which confers jurisdictional powers on the Federal High Court, did not include matters relating to chieftaincy affairs.

Danbaito argued that the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court was limited to issues relating to the federal government and its agencies, arms and ammunition, aviation and safety of aircraft, diplomatic, consular and trade representation, among others.

Another lawyer, Felix Jones Osimerhe, said the Federal High Court had no jurisdiction on chieftaincy affairs.

He said that even if it does, the state governor enjoys immunity; and therefore, contempt proceedings cannot be filed against him.

Also, Ali Jamilu said the Federal High Court had jurisdiction on issues relating to fundamental rights and not chieftaincy affairs.

He said Babba Dan Agundi and his lawyers hid under sections 45 and 46 to secure the order, noting that only a state High Court or Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court can adjudicate on issues to do with chieftaincy affairs.

Another lawyer, who does not want his name mentioned, said Babba Danagundi could be right if he could convince the Federal High Court that his fundamental human right was infringed upon.

Judge granted order from US – Gov Yusuf

Daily Trust Saturday reports that the reinstated emir was at the Kano Government House yesterday, where he received his appointment letter as the sole first-class Emir of Kano.

He landed in Kano late Thursday and was accorded a low key homecoming reception following security advice.

After issuing the reappointment letter to Emir Sanusi, Governor Yusuf vowed that he would report Justice Liman to the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) for allegedly issuing the letter from the United States.

“The person that issued the court order was in America but ordering us to stop what we are doing. I must present this issue of abuse before the Governor’s Forum so that we can tackle it accordingly.

“We are agents of following due process, and that is why we did what we did openly before everybody. Those that are meant to maintain the rule of law must follow that also,” the governor said.


No man can take what God has given – Sanusi

On his part, the reinstated emir commended Governor Yusuf and members of the House of Assembly for “summoning courage” to save Kano State and Nigeria through his reinstatement.

“It is a testament that no man can take what God has given,” he said.

The emir spoke shortly after receiving his reinstatement.

He said: “The Arabians used to say that in everything we are going to witness, there is a lesson that shows us that God is there. Whatever is happening to an individual is preordained by Allah; and to those that are sensible enough, it is a lesson.

“God is one, and whatever he does, nobody can change, and what he doesn’t do, nobody can.

“About 10 years ago, in this same place, former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso gave me my appointment letter as the Emir of Kano. Today, I am here again receiving a reappointment letter from Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

“Time will not permit long talks. Whatever we will say we had said when we were leaving. We made it clear that God had preordained time and cause for everything and everyone. He gives leadership to whom he wants and at the time he wants. When he gives, no one can take it away, and when he takes it away, nobody can take it back.

“My governor and our Assembly members will not understand the gravity of what you did for the history of Kano and the country at large. Among Kano emirs, it started from Bagauda over 1, 000 years ago. In this year’s, it was once that we had Emir Muhammadu Koguna, who was overthrown and he came back after some days. This shows that in 1,000 years, there has been no case like what happened now.

“In the northern part of this country, we have seen in different states how politicians balkanised emirates with a state, with one emir becoming 20, some 19. In states of northern Nigeria, there are local governments with two or three first class emirs, all because the system has been destroyed.

“Had it been that this thing that was brought to Kano was allowed, one day we would wake up with emirs of Kumbotso, Bichi, Fagge and 44 others. So, what the government and the Assembly did is a rescue mission,” he said.

I’ve no idea of what happened in Kano – Kwankwaso

The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 general elections and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, said he had no idea of what happened in Kano as he was neither briefed nor consulted.

Speaking with BBC, Hausa Service he said: “I will go to Kano very soon and speak with some of the members, especially the Speaker and the governor on what is happening.

“Rabiu Kwankwaso has burnt his hands over dictating what to do. We are still with the governor. It is just a matter of offering advice, and if you are not asked to do so, you keep quiet so long as things are going right. We just pray and hope that they would succeed.”

Daily Trust Saturday had reported that Kwankwaso had revealed that the chieftaincy law would be revisited.

He, however, said, “When I said we would revisit the case, I didn’t say the direction to follow. I just said it would be reviewed. When I go there I will hear what happened; and I am sure they will tell me whatever happened, and whatever they tell me, we will just pray for them. I heard that the Assembly members have repealed the law.

“What we were telling them was that they should go and investigate whether what happened was done out of goodwill or not. What happened appears to be a vendetta or cheating? It is just a matter of: Did Ganduje do right or wrong? It is not about going against him.”

Speaking further about the future of the emirate in relation to political influence, he said, “Those that are looking at it from the perspective of whether it is going to be tenure-based are somehow right, but who started it? When I came back as governor in 2011, everybody knew that the late Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero, was not supporting us. He was supporting Shekarau, but when we got into power we didn’t think of dethroning him. This is why we are telling people that everybody should sit where he belongs.”

Okay na

Blessedpalms:
These fears are more than real the moment you hit 33. I looked in my mirror and saw my beards, becoming everything I feared.
I have never felt so lonely in a world filled with 7 billon humans. Too much worries

Maybe I should have took that risk, maybe I should have learnt something instead of just focusing on academics. I keep thinking about everything I could have done earlier. Maybe I should have started this 5 years ago at 28. Maybe I should have started that 7 years ago when I was 26.
But it's unfortunate those years are in the past now.

It's my fault, I was optimistic and thought things were going to be better. Government employment, good salary. I'll have a good career and my own family. Maybe a wife and 2 kids.
I just laughed at myself now,
This clown got No kids, no business
maybe that's even a blessing in disguise because how do I feed them?
I have always been afraid not being able to be there for people around me talk less of my kids. These fears are real because I can't even be there for myself.


I am not the type that blames anyone. I feel like life has a way of telling you optimism is weakness and a lie.
Don't get me wrong, Life is kind to many others
And this is where temptations comes, you start to see society and crime from a different perspective.
No one is free from this kinds of temptations

No one is free from this kinds of temptations.
This is why I find it hard to blame call girls and women in clubs acting a stripper. You don't know the kind of struggles that push people to where they are. I have grown and learnt not to make mockery of anyone. Some of them aren't even 33 yet. Alot of things tempt people to Fall. Many people with no real jobs.

Appprehsive about what to eat, appprehsive about health, Appprehsive about neighborhood asking for any fee, apprehensive about Rent, Appprehsive about aged parents. I don't know what tomorrow holds. You tell people to teach you things, they tell you, you're too old.

I am at a point where I am trying not fall. It's emotionally shattering. NO job, no real solid financial backing. It feels like only you in the world. you have to fight and figure it all out.
You think, Plan, write but see, it all feels like a meaningless scribble.

If you you are still 25 or 26 now is the time to do something. Just do something, forget about optimism. Optimism is deceptive.
Do everything not to stumble and fall in the future. Don't be bothered about what people think about what you do. You'll only be respected if you are able to care for yourself and people around you.

Na wa oo

Good. Same thing Mbakwe did in Imo state when he was a governor

EmeeNaka:
Na that Christianity own dey really annoying. Upon all the modern and ancient evil of Islam and the so called Witchcraft art which they claim is African traditional religion, some idiots will rather blame Christianity.

I told one confused guy the other day, "all of you traditionalists are into occultism and one form of diabolism or the other, yet you have the effrontery to attack Christianity. How can you be bowing down to the devil and tell me not to follow God. Again, it's even funny how they now blame Christianity for underdevelopments, leaving the government of the day. The devil is a liar sha

olisaEze:
And when they get to the palace and meet the Deputy Gov with the Speaker of Kano State House holding a copy of the State’s gazetted law there at Sanusi’s side, will the military now shoot the representatives of the people for Adamu Bayero?? The Governor has given an order for the deposed emir’s arrest. Anything the military does to oppose that order is tantamount to a coup! Nigeria dodged a bullet with PO and ran into a nuclear holocaust with Tinubu. Welcome to APC’s Nigeria, where the constitution is second to power!

You are as confused as Reno O:mockery and Wike put together

immortalcrown:
Wahala!

If this happens in the Igbo land, the narrative will be that Igbo people hate one another. Bigots will say that the Igbo should not lead Nigeria since the Igbo peopl cannot lead themselves.

If it happens among pastors or Bishops, the narrative will be that Christianity is a white man's weapon to destroy Africa. Religious bigots will say that Christianity is a scam.

God will bless nwanne for this comment. These are the exact things I would have said. It's quite pathetic how people are being influenced by never+do+wells daily to hate themselves

bentenny:
The FG should focus on presenting a better offer to organised labour instead of resorting to use paid propagandists like you to manipulate unsuspecting citizens and making labour look bad!
For the very fact that labour brought down their initial demand from #615k to #500k and to 497k implies that the humongous demand is to ensure they do not lose out of a suspected final demand which is obviously in the region of 150-200k!

This negotiation tact is to ensure that the past doesn't affect them knowing the antecedence of successive FG!

So OP forget this propaganda campaign....the three parties have gone beyond this stage!

I would also like to state clearly that any minimum wage that cannot comfortably purchase 2 full bags of rice is insensitive,wicked and unacceptable!

This is the best submission in this thread

Sited in Alaigbo. What more can we ask for.

Angelfrost:
It's just the good old North London rivalry...!

Most Spurs fans will be cheering and applauding every goal City scores tomorrow.

Same way Everton will rather get relegated than see Liverpool lift a trophy.

They celebrated their last victory against the Reds with some serious fanfare... They were happier denting Liverpool's title hopes than surviving the drop.


Bad belle full EPL plenty.

It's only the Manchester clubs that don't indulge in such silliness.

Ever heard of the name "noisy neighbours? Seems you are a newbie in this football matters

DeOTR:
We like the result we're getting from this match.
If you want to win league, win your own matches and stop depending on other teams.

Story! Any you think Aston Villa is already home and dry as far as Champions league football next season is concerned abi?

osazsky:
better than Lossing a 10point lead with 8 games to go..asenal are d real bottlers

When Man Utd lost 8 points lead with 3 abi 4 matches to go in 2012, what did you call that? Don't even get me started on Geard's slip few marches to the end of the season

osazsky:
only d best team wins it..sorry assarnal doesn't fall into that category

At least Arsenal beat you team this season

osazsky:
Liverpool and asenal I nor know who useless pass

Say it again without crying

osazsky:
people way u dey hope for they tell u say they rather loose u still dey say God of football..na I wan play Thier game..u had ur chance to defeat city in d 2nd leg but u choose to park bus

The way you guys spew bile and dish out hard comments sha. You have to give credit where it's due. Arsenal won City at Emirates, then went to Etihad and snatched a draw. That's just the kind of pattern world class coaches use against touch opponents and fellow title contenders. So you think it's easy to set a record of being the only team to have held City to a goalless draw at their home for more than one year now? City being denied scoring chances in itself is very commendable. We are talking about the best team in the world with the best coach. And you make it look as if winning them in their own backyard is eaay. Haba mana.

You would have made more sense if you said Arsenal's lost to Aston Villa put them in the tight situation they're now in, but then every team is wont to lose once in a while. No team is perfect, there are off days...

sudeba:
Arsenal last game, Everton. That's a spoiler.. Next season will be funny for them, almost all stat players are leaving.

See imagination? No go finish yourself with excessive hallucinations oo 😆

AImiron:
na only two teams fit stop City this season, maybe get a draw at least, that's Arsenal or Liverpool... Even Forest wey dey fight for relegation collect, Fulham players during the week were flying Kites during training. Spurs' Europe adventure is safe, can they dream of UCL yes maybe but I don't see em pushing beyond their limits cos the team is already weak and low on morale imagine dem manage beat Burnley at home. Even if na 1-0 City go flog em

I actually thought man utd could do something today but that team was a joke due to injury, now City gotta take matters into their hands. It's their trophy to lose..

I will take Me Bean more seriously than you

AImiron:
Liverpool went through the same issh .. if una no lose against Villa at home, y'all won't be in this situation, you can't eat your cake and have it. Your fate no dey your hands again, don't worry about Spurs dem go too collect this midweek. Dem no go even do una any favor dem go open legs sef.

Why does everyone always yap about the loss to Aston Villa? Every team usually has a bad day. Why is ours different?

Immunity1555:
Man city will break that record,the way Arsenal break record for Old Trafford

Which record did Arsenal break? You obviously think this is the first time Arsenal is winning at Old Trafford? You be learner oo

Felabrity:
20 wins was enough for PSG to win the league

25 wins was enough for Bayer Leverkusen

Real madrid won the league winning 27 matches

Inter won their league after winning 26 matches

28 wins might not even be enough for Arsenal to win the league

Sigh.
Sigh

Lol..EPL oo

Akpakomiza2:
No,from what I am seeing,it is looking like an arsenal win na.most utd fans are rooting for arsenal,why are you differing? Even a whole SIR never won EPL 4 times in a row,pep will be stopped.
It is in their hands but spurs has an excellent record against them.thank goodness you Sabi stats

The guy doesn't understand their are traditionally difficult grounds for every team no matter how good they may be..

idongesit88:
its not abt bottling, its abt the ability of d coach, if to say na conte or mourinho, i 4 talk d best city go do na draw base on guadiola has never won a league game at tottenham but dis current tottenham coach just dey open defence like women wey spread leg ready for....

You made an interesting statement "City has never won a game at Tottenham". Can recall how true that is, but you see n football, every club has some traditional tough grounds they will always have difficulty no matter the odds. Even though Arsenal is in the form of their life but they were still lucky to have won 0-1 at Old Trafford. Old Trashford is always a tough place to go for Arsenal so do such scenarios hold for every team at some places and time

CrossRhodes:
Why would Tottenham fans want them to lose?
I don't get it

Tottenham and Arsenal are arch rivals. Man City not winning tuesday's gam means they have helped Arsenal to win the league which they won't like cos Arsenal will taunt the to no end. By the it's about over 70 years Tottenham last won the league

ReacherSaidNoth:
Better to be cautious and win than to throw caution to the wind and ruin a whole season's work. We have taken things to the last day where we hope the universe will smile on us.

FT
Man United 0-1 Arsenal

And note, in all the seasons where Arsenal won the league, we have beaten United home and away 😉

And many Arsenal victories at Old Trafford usually ends 0-1 to Arsenal..

Mirasteel:
FT!

I'm disappointed because Arsenal didn't score much goals.

Most Arsenal victories at Old Trafford have always ended 0-1 to Arsenal. Also, Onana made some wonderful saves denying both Rice and Martinelli..

thatigboman:
I trust our North London neighbours, Tottenham. They will do it for us on Tuesday, unlike Man U that couldn't help their Man City neighbours by scoring at least 1 goal.

Hehehehe....I am an Arsenal fan but you seem not to know there is intense rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham. None supports each other

Chigozie321:
I support Fubara 100% in this fight but let us be honest, that guy has not been impressive since he became a governor.

Detractors no longer have access to the state Treasury so I expect projects to be buzzing left, right and center. But NO, no significant development till date.

Lets hope he starts delivering when this fight is over.

Don't you think being distracted can also him not concentrate on his job?

BodyCount:
I don't like Fabura but Wíke is a certified foòl. He deserve Fabura to shít on his head and spit on his face.
Wike is ripping what he sow and this is one of the situation where I love Karma.
Wike humiliated and disrespected Amaechi far more than this. He's having a dose of his own medicine now and he can never win this battle, unless the sitting governor is the biggest foòl alive.
In life, you will reap what you sow!

Bros you didn't state why you hate Fubara
