Kano State Govt Speaks Out On Court Order Over New Emirates

Court

The Kano State Government has reacted to a new court order restraining them from further actions on the controversial creation of four new Emirates, describing it as harmless and not injurious to the already created emirates.

A High Court sitting in Kano, had issued a restraining order on Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the Kano state governor, and seven others from carrying out any action on the creation of the emirates and installation of emirs.

But the government, through Aminu Yasser, its Director General Media and Communication, said, “the order is harmless as it does concern the already existing seven created Emirate Councils, rather it was asking us to be restrain from doing anything further on the matter”.

Yasser continued, “already we have not any further issues left we have completed our actions with regards to the creation of the Emirates and the appointment of the Emirs and the order is saying further actions while we have no further actions we have completed everything”.
