KANO EMIRSHIP TUSSLE: BAYERO REJECTS APPEAL Court JUDGEMENT, HEADS TO SUPREME COURT

Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero has rejected the judgement of the Appeal Court which nullified a Federal High Court order that removed Muhammadu Sanusi II as the 16th Emir of Kano.

Bayero on Sunday said he is heading to Supreme Court to challenge the appeal court verdict.

Speaking to newsmen at the Nasarawa Palace of the 15th Emir Of Kano, the Sarkin Dawaki Babba, Aminu Babba DanAgundi, who filed the suit that was struck out by the Appeal Court, said, “Sanusi did not even understand that he has completely lost out in the whole of the cases at hand.

“That is why I expressed regrets over remarks by the 16th Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II, using the Mosque pillar to propagate something that was not true and did not happen at the Appeal Court.

“We initially went to Federal High Court seeking the nullification of the repeal law by the State Assembly, which we felt was done haphazardly.”

DanAgundi further warned Sanusi to stop parading himself as the Emir of Kano.

“The position of Muhammadu Sanusi II that he emerged victorious was wrong, the court said that the Federal High Court has no legal right to hear issues with regards to chieftaincy affairs. But what we went to court for was different.

“We were not arguing on the powers of State Assembly to enact of repeal laws, what we were asking was lack of fair hearing on the 15th Emir Aminu Ado Bayero, that he was removed without given him chance to protect himself.

“The State Assembly didn’t follow the right procedures in repealing the laws,” he added.

He asked the Police and the DSS to stop Sanusi from allegedly moving around with thugs, accusing the Emir of plotting to disrupt peace in Kano.

According to him, Sanusi will not claim victory until the Supreme Court judgement has been given.

“The Attorney General and Speaker of the Kano State Assembly went to court seeking to stop Bayero from parading himself as Emir, but the Appeal Court rejected that position and said that Bayero was not given fair hearing.

“By this it clearly shows that Bayero is still the Emir of Kano.”

    NATIONAL ASSEMBLY SETS N2.5TRN REVENUE TARGET FOR FIRS

    NATIONAL ASSEMBLY SETS N2.5TRN REVENUE TARGET FOR FIRS IN 2025 The national assembly joint committee on finance has set N25 trillion as revenue target for the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) for the 2025 fiscal year. The committee, composed of the finance panels of the senate and house of representatives, also commended the service for raking in N21.6 trillion in 2024. Speaking during the budget defence session of the FIRS, Saidu Musa Abdullahi, deputy chair of the house committee on finance, said it commendable that the service surpassed its N19.4 trillion target last year. “It is very cheering and encouraging,” he said. “We shall give you total support on your tax reform but you need to bring in more taxable citizens into the net from the informal sector.” Sani Musa, chair of the senate committee on finance, said the service should work with the target of N25 trillion. “It is achievable and even surpassable,” Musa said. Etanabene Benedict, a member of the committee, said if the country gets its tax collection right, it might not need to borrow to fund its budgets. “If we do well on tax collections or revenue generation, we will not borrow to fund our budget,” Benedict said. “Going by the feat attained by FIRS in 2024, urge this committee to project N60 trillion tax collection or revenue generation for it in 2025.” However, the panel agreed to fix the target for the tax agency at N25 trillion.
