Salihu Tanko Yakasai, a media aide of Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has reacted to Thursday’s court ruling that sacked the new Emirs.
A Kano High Court presided over by Justice Usman Na’Abba, dissolved the four additional Emirates and first class Emirs created by the Kano State Government.
Governor Ganduje, had on May 8, assented to a controversial law establishing four additional emirates with first class Emirs in Bichi, Rano, Karaye and Gaya.
But, delivering the judgement today, Justice Na’abba said the Kano State House of Assembly had violated the provision of Section 101 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, (as amended), which allows the assembly to make laws.
He, therefore, declared the law creating the new four Emirates null and void, saying the petition for the creation of the emirates was faulty and did not follow due process.
In reaction, Yakasai tweeted via his @dawisu handle: “The creation of the new Emirates in Kano is here to stay.
“Today’s court ruling is a temporary setback and the State Govt is looking at all the possible options and will come up with its next point of action with regards to their creation.
“But one thing remains clear, Dem dey GIDIGBA!”
