Despite the ruling that dissolved the four new first-class emirates created by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje on Thursday, November 21, the Kano state government has declared that the emirs would still remain in office.
Premium Times reports that the state’s information commissioner, Muhammad Garba, in a statement signed on Thursday, November 21, said that despite the ruling, the government still recognises them as first class emirs and would continue dealing with them as such.
Legit.ng gathered that the Kano high court nullified the creation of four new first-class emirates by the state government.
The four new emirates for which Governor Abdullahi Ganduje named first-class emirs in May are Bichi, Rano, Karaye and Gaya.
Appeal court verdict: Adelabu heads to Supreme Court, says he has a date with history
Justice Usman Na’Abba ruled on Thursday, November 21, that the law creating the new emirates did not follow due process.
Protests erupted in some of the affected emirates after the ruling.
The statement read: "Kano state government says it is studying the ruling of Kano high court on the creation of four new emirates in the state with a view to taking immediate appropriate action.
"It is regretted that despite the constitutional power and authority conferred on the State Assembly on such progressive and important issue, the court rules otherwise. The government will not fold its arms and concedes such constitutional power in the interest of the well-being of the people and general development of the state."
Malam Garba said the state government advised people to be calm, law abiding and await further action.
