The Chiefs hailed the verdict as a significant victory for justice over injustice, truth over falsehood, and light over darkness.

Justice Abdullahi Liman of the Federal High Court, Kano, nullified all actions taken by Governor Abba Yusuf following the amendment of the Kano Emirate law by the State House of Assembly on May 23, 2024.

The judge criticised the governor for assenting to the bill and presenting an appointment letter to Sanusi on May 24, 2024, despite a court order directing all parties to maintain the status quo.

In a statement signed by its President, Chief Ameh Adaji, and Secretary General, Chief Danladi Etsu, the Forum of Chiefs praised the judiciary for upholding the rule of law.

“We warmly applaud the landmark judgment annulling the reinstatement of Sanusi Lamido as Emir of Kano. This verdict is a resounding triumph of justice over injustice, light over darkness, and truth over falsehood,” the statement read.

The statement also commended Emir Ado Bayero for his resilience and commitment to peace in Kano.

“Despite attempts to dethrone and humiliate him, Emir Bayero has remained steadfast, refusing to be drawn into the fray. His leadership has been a steady hand, guiding his people through the stormy waters of politics and intrigue. We salute his unwavering commitment to the well-being of his people.”

The Forum of Chiefs issued a stern warning to Governor Abba Yusuf and Sanusi to desist from further illegal actions and respect the judiciary.
