Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has vowed to raise concerns about what he perceives as the misuse of court directives with the Nigeria Governors’ Forum.
He made this assertion in response to a court injunction that restrained the reinstatement of Sanusi and the removal of five Emirs in the state.
Justice Abdullahi Muhammad Liman of the Federal High Court, Kano, granted an interim injunction restraining the Inspector General of Police, the Kano state Police Commissioner, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), and the Department of State Services (DSS) from enforcing the Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Law.
The judge issued the order following a motion filed by Aminu Babba Danagundi, who holds the title Sarkin Dawaki Babba.
However, shortly after presenting the reinstatement letter to Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II at Africa House, Kano State Government House, on Friday, Yusuf remarked, “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.
“We are agents of following due process, that’s why we did what we did openly before everybody. Those that are meant to maintain that rule of law remains must follow that also.”
