The same state government that enacted a law repealed ut but those it favoured then won't obey it now.

Tinubu's regime has to be the worst ever in Africa.

A Kano State High Court presided over by Justice Amina Aliyu has perpetually restrained Aminu Ado-Bayero and four other deposed Emirs of Bichi, Rano, Gaya and Karaye from parading themselves as Emirs.

Delivering the judgment on Monday, Justice Aliyu further restrained the 15th Emir of Kano and four other dethroned Emirs by themselves, servants, privies and any other persons appointed by them from parading themselves as Emirs of Kano, Bichi, Gaya, Rano, Karaye.

Recall that the Kano State Government had filed a suit asking the state High Court to stop the 15th Emir, Bayero, and four other Emirs of Karaye, Bichi, Rano and Gaya from parading themselves as Emirs.

The government also gave the deposed Emirs 48 hours within which to vacate their respective palaces after being deposed.

However, Justice Aliyu said while delivering the judgment, that the issue of evicting the deposed Emir, Bayero, from his Nassarawa mini palace is a rent tribunal matter and is not before it.

In her judgment, she directed the deposed Emir and four other former Emirs to quickly hand over all the Emirate Traditional Royal Artefacts to the government and the substantive Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.

Justice Aliyu also said that the State Assembly Emirate Council Repeal Law 2024 was done according to the Law as enshrined in Section 4 of the Constitution.

Similarly, she ruled that the State Governor, Abba Yusuf, assenting to the law is also done perfectly according to the Constitution.

The implications of his opinion before the judgment is, if the judge rules against falana opinion the person that is affected by the ruling will claim the judge was wrong and the person will will keep on referring to falana opinion.

yyba:
Falana you are one of the problem, by always interpreting case in your opinion before any judgement from the court.

Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana has described the recent judicial orders in Kano State as an embarrassment to the judiciary.

Falana stated this in an interview with Arise Television on Thursday.

He said there is the need for higher courts to address the political and judicial confusion in both Kano and Rivers states.

He said, “Sanusi was not said to have disobeyed any order, so if the order affected him, he ought to have been put on notice.”

Falana described the court’s stance as confusing with regard to the broader issue of the Supreme Court’s judgments on the limitations of federal high court powers over traditional institutions.

“To be a Chief is not a fundamental right; it is a privilege,” he added.

Falana said the state high court’s order in favour of Sanusi created further confusion.

“The practice in the past was to allow the court of appeal to clear the confusion, and in this case, an appeal has been filed,” he said.

Falana faulted the federal high court’s involvement in matters of traditional institutions, stressing that only state governments have legislative power over such issues.

The constitution has made it clear that the National Assembly can only enact laws on matters in the exclusive legislative list; traditional institutions are residual,” he stated.

Speaking on the ongoing legal battle over the extension of local government officials’ tenures in Rivers, Falana referenced Section 7 of the constitution, which mandates democratically elected local government officials.

“In the case of Rivers, there’s already a judgement that the amendment of the law is illegal and unconstitutional,” he said.

Falana expressed concern over the disregard for Supreme Court decisions by political figures, calling for the media to challenge this behaviour.

He warned that the practice of extending tenures without proper elections could lead to chaos.

Ordinarily, the elections should have been conducted just like governorship elections,” he said.

He also faulted the overreach of federal powers in local governance, advocating for a clearer delegation of responsibilities.

“The federal government is currently over-bloated; there is a need to delegate powers to the federating units,” he said.

Falana called for constitutional reforms to enhance the functionality and recognition of local governments, adding that these issues must be addressed to maintain the rule of law and democratic integrity in Nigeria.

Reserve your pity until court say something in d assembly case. Maybe na Fubara u go give am

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has ordered the audit of the accounts of the 23 Local Government Areas for the past three years.

Fubara gave the order to the Auditor General of the state on Wednesday while swearing in the Caretaker Committee Chairmen of the local councils at the Executive Council Chamber of the Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

The governor said the audit of the accounts is intended to serve as a check for the incoming chairmen and make the local councils more accountable.

Fubara urged the caretaker chairmen to protect the interests of their people and demonstrate that the government was right in appointing them.

The governor also ordered a probe of the tenures of the outgoing local government chairmen.

Your tenure elapsed and you still want to stay like wtf is wrong with this politicians

A policeman and a member of Omuma Security Planning and Advisory Committee, OSPAC, have been feared killed in Omuma Local Government Area of Rivers State.

This was coming as tension and protest spread across the 23 local government areas of the state following the expiration of the three-year tenure of the elected Chairmen of LGAs and ward councillors.

There have been reports of shooting by alleged security personnel at the Port Harcourt City LGA Council Secretariat. It was also learned that there were shootings at Obio/Akpor, Emohua, Eleme and Khana LGAs by unidentified persons.

However, at noon it was reported that two people have been reportedly gunned down in Omuma LGA following shootings that erupted in the area.

A source in the area said policemen attached to a politician in the area had first shot the vigilante members who were in one of the groups that clashed at Omuma council secretariat, and that the victim’s men had in reprisal taken up the security personnel.

Meantime, the police authorities in the state could not confirm this at press time, but a police source in Omuma said two people were shot.

murphyjoe:
All those supporting Fubara should remember what goes around comes around, though we may not Wike but he should tread softly and wait till the judgement of the court on 20th of this month than trying to set the state ablaze by this action.
Taking law into his hand is totally unconstitutional and it may spell doim for him if he didn't retrace his step.
Thise that are supporting him now we be no where to be found when he started to feel the brunt of his action.
My 5 pence!
