He said: “The Kano State Government recognizes the decision of the Federal High Court regarding the Kano Emirates Council (Repeal) Law, 2024 and shares the same view of upholding the rule of law.

“Through the court ruling, it unequivocally reaffirms the validity of the law passed by the Kano State House of Assembly and approved by His Excellency the Executive Governor of Kano State on Thursday 23 May 2024 at 17:10

“This part of the decision is fundamental to the whole matter. A further implication of this decision is that all actions taken by the Government before the temporary order of an honorable court appears, have the same force.

This means that the abolition of the five emirates formed in 2019 has been legalized and the dismissal of the five emirs is also supported by the court.

The implication is that Muhammadu Sanusi II remains the Emir of Kano. The judge also granted our request to stay the proceedings until the appellate court handles the appeal in its jurisdiction.”
