The Impact of Kano

The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, maintained the legitimacy of the Kano State Government's acts concerning chieftaincy appointments and the reorganization of the state's traditional institutions, overturning previous rulings by the Federal High Court.

In response to the recent Court of Appeal ruling that settled the long-running controversy over the Emirate Council reforms, the Kano State Government has urged all pertinent agencies, institutions, and individuals to fully comply.

The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Hon. Ibrahim Adamu; the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Musa Bello; and the Commissioner for Information, Hon. Halima Yusuf, were among the top government officials who stressed the importance of strictly adhering to the ruling during a press conference on Saturday at the NUJ Press Centre in Kano.
The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, maintained the legitimacy of the Kano State Government's acts concerning chieftaincy appointments and the reorganization of the state's traditional institutions, overturning previous rulings by the Federal High Court.

"The Federal High Court has quashed and set aside all of its decisions, pronouncements, and orders in this matter," stated Hon. Ibrahim Adamu. "All actions taken by the governor in accordance with the law have been fully legalized by the appellate court, which has upheld the law passed by the Kano State House of Assembly."

The administration emphasized that the ruling establishes a precedent for upholding constitutional limits in chieftaincy concerns in addition to validating its reforms.
 

"We urge all pertinent authorities and interested parties to honor this ruling and take appropriate action," said Hon. Musa Bello. "To preserve peace, harmony, and the rule of law in our beloved state, the ruling must be fully implemented."

The administration also reaffirmed its dedication to Kano's development and unity, stressing the value of collaboration between all stakeholders.

Hon. Halima Yusuf continued, "This is a victory for justice and fairness." "To ensure that the reforms achieve their intended goals of equitable representation and inclusive governance across all emirates, we implore everyone to collaborate with the government."
In order to maintain Kano's cultural legacy while promoting modernization and growth, the administration took use of the occasion to reassure the populace that it was prepared to collaborate closely with traditional institutions.

"This ruling represents a significant milestone in our endeavors to balance tradition and advancement," the commissioners said in unison. "Let's all put Kano State's general welfare first and proceed together."

As the dust settles, the Kano State Government has reiterated its demand for harmony and adherence to the law, and it is urging all sides to accept the ruling and support the stability and development of the state.
