The Kano State High Court has granted an order restraining Governor Abdullahi Ganduje from implementing the breakup of Kano Emirate.

Mr Ganduje signed a law on Wednesday which created additional four emirates, a move that was widely seen as a depletion of Emir Lamido Sanusi’s influence.

The matter immediately took a political dimension with the Peoples Democratic Party members in the House saying that the additional four emirates were not properly created, accusing the All Progressives Congress majority of disregarding extant parliamentary procedures.

TheNigerialawyer (TNL) recalls Gov. Ganjuje on Thursday assented to a bill seeking to establish four additional emirates in Kano.

The Emirates are to be situated in Rano, Gaya, Karaya, and Bichi

At least four leading Islamic clerics in Kano State have tendered their resignation from the administration of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.

Those who tendered their resignation are Commander-General of Hisbah, Aminu Daurawa; the chairman of Kano State Pilgrims Board, Abba Koki; the Permanent Commissioner I at Shariah Implementation Agency, Abubakar Kandahar and; Permanent Commissioner II at Zakkah and Hubsi Commission, Nazifi Inuwa.

All the four copies of their resignation letters obtained by DAILY NIGERIAN were dated May 9, 2019.

Mr Daurawa, who is one of the very few clerics who condemned the governor’s bribe-taking videos during his Friday sermons, said in his resignation was based on personal reasons

“The resignation is based on personal reasons,” Messrs Daurawa, Kandahar and Inuwa said in their letters, citing personal commitments that coincide with the demands of the office.

But Mr Koki cited health ground and personal commitments as reasons for his resignation.

Last week, the governor indirectly accused Mr Daurawa of corruption, hinting that he would restructure the Hisbah Board for efficiency and quality service delivery.

Security better under Jonathan than Buhari

Security Better Under Jonathan’s Govt Than Buhari’s – Northern Elders

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has said Nigeria fared better in terms of security under the past administration than in President Muhammadu Buhari’s time.

Recall that the presidency recently noted that insecurity level has dropped in Nigeria since Buhari came on board in 2015.

However, NEF has said that insecurity in the north is worse under Buhari, according to its Chairman Ango Abdullahi.

He regretted that Buhari is not doing enough to tame the rising level of insecurity in the country.

Speaking to Punch, Abdullahi said “I don’t understand what the reaction from the Presidency is expected to convey to the public.”

Ganduje moves against Emir Sanusi

Ganduje moves against Emir Sanusi, seeks creation of 4 emirates

Gov. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje

In a move aimed at weakening the power of Kano Emirate, the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has sought the approval of the state House of Assembly to create more emirates in the state.

Insiders said the governor is on coalition course with the emir, following the emir’s alleged support for the opposition PDP candidate in the last governorship election, Abba Yusuf.

A similar move was made about four decades ago by the late former governor of Kano State, Abubakar Rimi, when he created more emirates in the early 80s to settle scores with the late Emir Ado Bayero. But the emirates did not last long as the succeeding administration of Sabo Bakinzuwo dissolved them in 1983.

At today’s plenary, the Speaker of the House, Alhaji Kabiru Alhassan Rurum read a letter signed by one Ibrahim Salisu and others, seeking the creation of new emirates in Karaye, Bichi, Rano and Gaya.
