Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has criticized Justice Mohammed Liman of the Federal High Court for allegedly issuing an order from the United States to stop the reinstatement of Sanusi Lamido as the 16th Emir of Kano.
Governor Yusuf, speaking on Friday, threatened to report the judge to the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. Justice Liman had granted the order in response to an application filed by Aminu Babba Dan Agundi, the Sarkin Dawaki Babba of the Kano Emirate. The order aimed to halt the enforcement of the Kano State Emirate Council Repeal Law, which had dethroned all five Emirs in the state.
Reacting to the court order after issuing the reinstatement letter to Lamido at Africa House, Kano State Government House, Governor Yusuf stated, “The person that issued the court order was in America but he is ordering us to stop what we are doing. This issue of abuse I must present before the Governor’s Forum so that we can tackle it accordingly.”
The governor emphasized that his administration is committed to due process, highlighting that their actions were taken transparently and openly.
