JUST IN: Court restrains Ganduje from implementing new emirates in Kano

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.

Two PDP House members, including the minority leader, told our
reporter they received a court order against the new emirates on
Friday afternoon.

The lawmakers said the House was not properly convened before
the law was hurriedly passed on Wednesday.

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