FCT, Abuja - Former Kaduna state governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has congratulated His Highness, Emir Muhammad Sanusi over his victory at the Court of Appeal.
Legit.ng recalls that Justice Gabriel Omoniyi Kolawole voided the Federal High Court’s decision in Kano, which nullified Sanusi’s appointment as the Emir of Kano.

El-Rufai reinstated the appellate court judgement that the federal high court has no business interfering in chieftaincy matters outside of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, the nation’s capital.
The former FCT minister NJC should discipline the erring judge for his disgraceful judgment on the Kano Emirate tussle between Sanusi and Aminu Ado Bayero.
The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said:
"KANO UPDATE: Congratulations to my dear friend and brother, His Highness, Emir Muhammad Sanusi II for this judgment. The federal high court has no business dabbling into chieftaincy matters outside of the FCT, and the erring judge ought to be disciplined by the NJC for the intentionally erroneous and disgraceful judgment."

It is very unfortunate that court has to be the one deciding the status of our traditional institution, politicians has bastardized the fabric & sacredness of our highly revered traditions.

To be a judge in Nigeria at this time is challenging,the heat they face from different opposing parties to cases that come before them, a former gov is calling for deciplinary actions against him, not considering the pressure he might have faced before giving that judgement.

We tell them since, that federal high court lack such jurisdiction, it has limited clarity,
This is state matters and affairs, why federal something will interfere something that it has no business with.

I hope this will end the whole issue and bring back some peace to Kano. They deliberately wanted to create problems for Kano.
Congrats to HRH.

Your congratulations is misplaced. Make effort to read the two judgments from the court of appeal.

What is the judgement of the court? Your friend is still yet to be the Emir of Kano.
