Earlier in February 2019, a Civil Society Group, The Coalition for Nigeria, a civil society organisation, said it has uncovered plots by Iran and the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) to terrorise Nigeria.

The National convener of the coalition, Patriot Sabo Odeh,said IMN is an affiliate of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and should be declared a terrorist group.
He, therefore, called on the Nigerian government and particularly, the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice to expedite action on designating the IMN sect a terrorist’s organisation to finally lay to rest the tormenting “ghosts of these monsters and religious extremists.”

Lawrence Audu met with security expert, Olajide Abiola, to discuss these threats and how to prevent such from happening.

New Emir of Bichi, Aminu Ado Bayero, has said Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has no grudge against him.

According to Bayero, the Emir will support him to succeed in all my undertakings.

Emir Bayero said this on Thursday in a press conference to address controversies surrounding the matter.

He said he accepted the appointment in good faith as he never lobbied for the position.

He said: “l was appointed Danmajen Kano in 1990 by my late dad. I later became Danburan Kano, then Turakin Kano to Sarkin Tsakar Gida and finally to Wamban Kano. It may interest you to know that l have never gone to anybody asking for any of these appointments.

“Again from the time my late dad became emir to the time he died, he saw a lot of changes and he accepted them in good faith. Historically the police, prisons, customs, judges and schools were initially under the emirates, but as time went by, they separated and our forefathers had accept the changes.”

Calling Sanusi his brother, Bayero said that he had a lot of respect for the Emir of Kano.

“Sanusi is my brother. He has respect for me and I have respect for him. l am from a royal family. When he was appointed Emir, I was among the first set of people that paid homage to him and l gave him my support and l will continue to support him.

“So, because I am appointed Emir, l don’t think he will not support me to succeed in all my undertakings. l have no grudges against him whatsoever and I don’t think he has any against me,” he said.

The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, on Wednesday said Nigeria’s former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, will not succeed in his quest to overthrow President Muhammadu Buhari through the election tribunal.

Mr Akiolu advised Mr Atiku to drop his case against Mr Buhari’s re-election, saying he strongly believed the president had the mandate of Nigerians and would finish his second term in office.

The Lagos monarch spoke when participants of the Senior Executive Course 41 of the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, visited him in his palace.

The NIPPS delegation is in the state for a study tour of its health sector. The visit is coordinated by NIPSS in collaboration with the Development Research and Project Centre (DRPC) through PACFAH.

“If anyone of you here is close to Atiku, tell him he can never succeed in what he is doing now.

“Buhari will complete his term in office, but Buhari too has to listen to the people, pray to God and be honest in what he is doing,” the Oba said.

The traditional ruler also launched an attack on former president Olusegun Obasanjo. He said his self-acclaimed powers had been demystified by Mr Buhari’s re-election.

“I had said that Buhari would win even before the election. Unfortunately, the number one person creating problems in this country is former president Obasanjo.

“He arrogated to himself the powers of the Almighty Allah by saying it was the support he gave to Buhari that made him win the first term.

“Obasanjo said Buhari would not win the second term, but did Buhari not win? Did I not say Obasanjo will be disappointed by the time the results were announced?

“The president’s victory clearly shows power belongs to God only and no man can decide who leads the country,” he noted.

Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh, believes the European Union Mission can help reduce the spate of migration of Nigerian youths to Europe.

According to Audu, the European nations should reduce the issuance of visas to Nigerians and would instead prefer youths to remain in the country and invest in agriculture.

He also said youths’ migration was not sustainable, and that a joint committee would be set up to advance the programme.

“We also raised the issue of migration of our youths across to Europe and the fact that it is not sustainable. It is something that Nigeria will like to see come to an end by creating economic activities here to make sure that young people stay back at home,” Ogbeh said.

The minister also said: “We are also lucky that Nigerian youths are interested in agriculture, different from youths in other countries. Even those who studied other courses are interested in agriculture.

“We did raise the issue of kidnapping of investors here, we do not want any Nigerian or foreigner investing here to be kidnapped and taken away.”

Governor Ganduje and Emir Sanusi

A Kano High court presided over by Justice Nasiru Saminu has ordered Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi ll to maintain status quo in respect of the interim order issued against the governor on May 10.

Justice Saminu ordered all the parties in the suit to maintain the status quo, pending the hearing of motion on notice.

The court also ruled that the order issued on May 10, restraining Kano state Government from appointing four new Emirates in the state was still subsisting, pending the determination of the motion on notice.

NAN reports that the court had through the ex-parte application by the applicant, Rabiu Gwarzo restrained Ganduje and all other respondents in the case from appointing or recognising any purported emir under the Kano state Emirs Appointment And Disposition Amendment Law 2019, pending the hearing of motion on notice.

 

Earlier, Counsel to the applicant, Abubakar Mahmud, SAN, informed the court that the respondents have not complied with the court order earlier issued,

He explained that the appointment and presentation of staff of office to the four new emirs were made on May 13 and May 14 after they were restrained on May 10.

Mahmud says obeying court order, is the duty and obligations upon all respondents.

However in his response, counsel to Governor Ganduje, the Commissioner For Justice, Mr Ibrahim Mukthar, said the purported appointment and recognition of four new Emirates were completed actions by the Governor and All Respondents.

He argued that the processes of amending the Emirs Appointment Law, Gazette and Assented were all done before the restraining order was issued against the respondents.

The commissioner also argued that the court lacked legal power to reverse any completed action.
