EKO HOT BLOG reports that Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has explained why he will not comply with a court order seeking to halt the reinstatement of former Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.

However, Sanusi Bature, the Director-General of Media and Publicity for Governor Yusuf, stated that the state does not consider itself bound by the court order. He made this disclosure during an interview on Arise Television on Friday.
Bature said, “This is an ex parte order, and it’s given largely probably for the protection of the human rights of the subjects involved in this case.
“Unfortunately for those that filed this case, the court order came many hours after the decision of Governor Yusuf. This bill emanated from the State House of Assembly, it’s not even an executive bill.
Sanusi’s Reinstatement
“Therefore the court order came at a time when the decision has been taken and court orders are meant to prevent something from happening. Governor Yusuf signed the law at exactly 5pm and the court order came after 11pm.

“The decision to reinstate Sanusi is done in good faith and in the best interest of the people of Kano because that is what they have been craving for.”
