Kano High Court Vacates Order Restraining Ganduje from Dethroning Emirs

A Kano High Court Judge, Ahmed Badamasi on Tuesday declined to grant an extension on the interim order he gave last week barring the State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje from interfering with the powers of the state Emirate council.

By this development, Ganduje can now exercise the powers vested in him under the new Kano State Emirates Council Law, 2019. 

This includes the power to dethrone any emir found wanting or violating any of the provisions of the law.

Recall that Counsel to the kingmakers had in suit No K/197/2019 asked the court to extend the order pending the determination of the substantive suit.
