The face off between the the governor of Kano State, Umar Ganduje, and the Emir of Kanu, Mohammed Sanusi, appears not to abate as the governor has approached the state Assembly to resubmit the bill for the creation of four additional Emirates in the state.
He had earlier submitted the bill through a non member of the house of Assembly, asking for the creation of the same four emirates. The House had speedily passed the bill, and he assented to the bill the same day. However, the case landed in court and the court threw out the newly signed law, ordering a return to status quo ante. The Court predicated its dismissal of the case on the fact that the creation of the emirate did not follow due process. According to the court, the bill was not submitted by a member of the House, hence the house did not follow due process. the result was therefor null and void.
