A High Court of Kano State has granted an order restraining Governor Abdullahi Ganduje from implementing the breakup of Kano Emirate, according to Premium Times..
Mr Ganduje signed a law on Wednesday which created an additional four emirates, a move that was widely seen as 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.
Two PDP House members, including the minority leader said they received a court order against the new Emirates on Friday afternoon, according to Premium Times.
It is not clear who the Plaintiffs are and the judge who granted the order at the time of filing this report.
