The Latest News from Nigeria and Around the World
The New Nigeria People’s Party has warned against the declaration of a state of emergency in Kano State due to the current Emirship tussle in the state.
The on -going siege on Kano State, especially, the Palace of the Emir of Kano by soldiers and other security agents is nothing but a show of shame and a threat to the democracy which some Nigerians shed their blood to enthrone. So, since when did it become the Constitutional responsibility of the Federal Government to be installing traditional rulers.The Kano State Legislature vested with the powers to repeal, amend or enact laws having duly followed established principles repealed the Kano Emirate Law , which removed the 14th Emir of Kano, HRM Mohammed Sanusi 11, and restored him to office.
The party’s position followed claims by Kano Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, that the former Emir was brought to Kano on Friday surrounded by soldiers through the office of a highly placed government official from Abuja.NNPP is aware of the grand plan to snatch Kano State by all means, following the earlier failed attempt to grab it through the Courts.
The on-going scenario in Kano where soldiers are deployed to upturn a properly enacted law by the State legislature and State Police Commissioner will bluntly refuse an instruction by a Sitting Governor as we are witnessing in Kano portend grave danger to our democracy.
