A group of lawyers from Northern Nigeria has issued a 48 hours ultimatum to Kano State governor, Abba Yusuf, to rescind the reinstatement of Emir Muhammad Sanusi II.
The lawyers, who identified themselves as the Northern Lawyers’ Forum, at a briefing on Tuesday in Abuja, said that Sanusi ’s reinstatement is “unconstitutional” and “contrary to the traditions and customs of the Kano Emirate'. The forum’s Director General, Barr Umar Sadiq Abubakar, argued that Sanusi ’s initial removal was in line with the laws and traditions of the Emirate, arguing that his reinstatement would “create chaos and undermine the rule of law” in the state.
The statement partly reads: “It has become pertinent to again address you on the Executive rascality and gross disregard of the judiciary by the executive governor of Kano state, H.E Abba K. Yusuf.
