A High Court sitting in Kano presided over by Justice AT Badamasi Tuesday granted governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje the power to constitute Council of Chiefs or any erring emir who run foul of the law.
The order granted the governor came on the heels of earlier suit instituted by four kingmakers challenging the legality of the inauguration of a new Council of Chiefs by governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, which the kingmakers prayed the court to issue injunction that would restraint such inauguration.
It was the contention of the court that the governor has the legal right to constitute the Council of Chiefs as enshrined in the emirate council law 2019 stressing that the vacation of the suit cleared the coast for Ganduje to constitute Kano Council of Chiefs and met out punishment to any erring emir.
The judge who granted the order last week, as prayed by the group of Kano kingmakers, vacated it Tuesday paving way for Ganduje to legally act on Kano state emirates Council law 2019.
