KANO — A group under the aegis, Coalition of Political Analysts Forum, Democracy Protectors and Good Governance, have appealed to the Supreme Court to expedite its judgment on the lingering emirship tussle in the Kano emirate council in order to put an end to the highly contentious issue.

The Leader of the coalition, Al-Amin Albarra who made the call while addressing a press conference in Kano, expressed concern over what he described as “dangerous dimension” the case is taking.

Albarra however, called on the Supreme Court as the apex judicial body to use it wisdom and legal authority to determine the tentative Emir of Kano and bring to an end the long running legal battle.

According to him, “Sequel to the ongoing Kano Emirship tussle, there is a growing interest among the members of the general public for the highest bench of Judges to expedite action on the one-year long tussle about the legal implications of who is the tentative Emir of Kano.

“We, the Coalition of Political Analysts Forum, Democracy Protectors and Good Governance are primarily disturbed by the dangerous dimension this case is heading to in which a constitutionally arrived matter is erroneously been hijacked by all comers intended to create chaos, mischief and reckless intervention in the legal process.

“The esteemed attention of the Honourable Supreme Court Judges is hereby invited by this coalition to use your wise counsel to determine the legal powers of creating traditional institutions in our democratic setting.

“The forum also wishes to observe the impending tension, misunderstanding and polarization of people of Kano State along ethnic and divided loyalty if this scenario continues to drag on,” Albarra however stated.

Recall that the emirate council has been entangled in a legal battle for over a year.
