The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has dismissed the validity of a court order halting the installation of a new Emir in Kano.

According to Gwarzo, the order was not officially submitted to the state government.

The controversy stems from a recent development where Justice Mohammed Liman of the Kano State High Court in Kano issued an order restraining the state government from enforcing the Kano State Emirate Council Repeal Law.

This law was instrumental in the state government’s decision to depose several Emirs, including the Emirs of Kano, Bichi, Karaye, Rano, and Gaya, and ordered them to vacate their palaces.

The move by the state government came after Governor Abba Yusuf signed the Kano Emirate Bill (2024) into law on Thursday.

This legislation paved the way for the reinstatement of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), as the 16th Emir of Kano.

It would be recalled that in March 2020, Sanusi was removed from the position by the immediate past Governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje, who cited insubordination as the reason for his removal.

Responding to the court order, Gwarzo told journalists that “nobody can change their position on the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi II because they did it legally.

“The so-called court order banning them from reinstating Sanusi was not officially submitted to them, and as at the time they did the reinstatement, it was after working hours, which shows that anything coming from the court on that matter is already late.”
