A Kano High Court presided over by Justice Ahmed T. Badamasi on Tuesday declined to grant an extension on the interim order he gave last week barring the state governor from interfering with the powers of the Kano Emirate kingmakers.
Recall that the Counsel to the kingmakers Barrister Nasiru Dangida in suit No K/197/2019 was asking the court to extend the order pending the determination of the substantive suit.
However going by this ruling, the governor is now effectively capable of exercising all the powers vested in him under the new Kano State Emirates Council Law, 2019.
This includes the power to dethrone any emir found violating any of the provisions of the law.
