The Kano State Government has issued a statement to clarify recent reports regarding the Court of Appeal’s ruling on the status of His Highness, Emir Muhammad Sanusi II. Contrary to widespread misconceptions, the Kano State Government wishes to confirm that the Court of Appeal did not set aside the judgment that recognized Sanusi as the Emir of Kano.
The Court of Appeal, in its recent ruling, upheld the legitimacy of Emir Sanusi's position, affirming the earlier decision that the Emir's removal was unlawful and without merit. This ruling serves as a testament to the integrity of the judicial process and the upholding of the rule of law in the country. The Kano State Government recognizes the authority of the judiciary and reiterates its commitment to ensuring peace and order in the region.
While the government acknowledges the legal proceedings surrounding the Emir's removal, it is important to note that the court’s ruling has once again underscored the recognition of Emir Sanusi as the rightful Emir of Kano, as originally declared by the judiciary.
In light of this development, the Kano State Government urges the public to refrain from further speculation and respect the rule of law as it continues to uphold the sanctity of the judicial process. The government remains committed to working with all parties to foster harmony and ensure the smooth functioning of governance in the state.
