May 27, (THEWILL) – A staunch Loyalist of former President, Muhammadu Buhari, Alhaji AbdulMajid Danbilki Kwamanda, has advised President Bola Tinubu, not to allow anybody to hide under State Laws to violate the court order that stopped the reinstatement of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II.
Kwamanda, the Chairman of Arewa Media Group, advised Tinubu while addressing newsmen at the NUJ press centre, Kano, on Monday.
According to him, what the State Government is doing – the reinstatement of Sanusi – violates the Federal High Court order stopping the reinstallment and is “setting a bad precedent that will consume everybody someday.”
“We cannot understand why the people who benefitted from a court order to sustain their government, will now reject a substantive court order that stopped them from carrying out illegality.
“Their insistence that the reinstated Emir must stay and continue parading himself as the authentic Emir of Kano has violated the rule of law and constitutes a threat to the nation’s Constitution and the general wellbeing of the people”, he said.
Kwamanda, therefore, urged President Tinubu to, as a matter of urgency, wade into the issue to maintain peace and stability in the state.
“I am a politician, but honestly, politics aside, there is great danger in what the Kano State Government is doing, the court injunction must be respected to allow peace to reign.
“The President respects Law and order and should not allow this bad precedent to be set during his tenure. He should ensure that all stakeholders obey the law in the reinstatement saga”, he added.
Kwamanda’s remarks came at a time when Emir Sanusi had already commenced full royal business, chairing council meetings and receiving homage from district heads, and title holders, among others.
Equally, the dethroned Emir Bayero is understood to be holding council meetings and receiving homage from his former district heads and other lieutenants.
