<p>The Court of Appeal has invalidated the ruling of the Federal High Court against Malam Muhammadu Sanusi, allowing him to remain as the Emir of Kano. The court has directed the High Court to reassign the case to another judge for a re-trial, a move seen as more favorable to Sanusi than to Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero.</p><div class="P17hTpMI" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>In a detailed analysis, seasoned journalist Ibrahim Sheme argues that the Court of Appeal&#8217;s decision is a significant victory for Sanusi. &#8220;The Court of Appeal has not removed Malam Muhammadu Sanusi but invalidated the ruling of the Federal High Court against him. So he stays put as the Emir of Kano,&#8221; Sheme wrote.</p>
<p>Sheme points out that the Court of Appeal&#8217;s directive for a re-trial by another judge, under the practical control of the Kano State government, suggests a likely favorable outcome for Sanusi. &#8220;The Court of Appeal has merely asked the High Court to reassign the case to another judge and conduct a re-trial. This is a court that is, in practical sense, under the control of the Kano State government. What do you think the outcome will be?&#8221; he questioned.</p>

<p>The journalist highlights the contrasting reactions to the judgment, noting that Sanusi&#8217;s supporters celebrated the decision, while there was no visible celebration from Bayero&#8217;s camp. &#8220;Sanusi even issued a video from Æofar Kudu thanking the Almighty God for his victory and asking his supporters to remain calm and cool. Did you see the other party celebrating?&#8221; Sheme observed.</p><div class="Nr56xsIO" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Sheme asserts that Sanusi is unlikely to be removed by a court, suggesting that only another government fiat could achieve such a result. &#8220;It is my considered view that Malam Sanusi will never be removed by a court. He could only be removed by another government fiat if that would ever happen again in future,&#8221; he stated.</p>

<p>Reflecting on historical precedents, Sheme notes that emirs from various regions, including Gwandu, Sokoto, Muri, and Kano, were removed by civilian or military politicians, not by courts. &#8220;Recall that emirs from Gwandu (Jokolo) to Sokoto (Dasuki) to Muri (Abba) to Kano (Sanusi I and Sanusi II), etc., were not removed by the courts but by civilian or military politicians,&#8221; he wrote.</p>
<p>Sheme concludes that court cases related to chieftaincy matters often result in confusion and financial gain for lawyers, rather than meaningful resolutions. &#8220;All these court cases are wishful abracadabra that end up confusing the common follower, knocking the heads of social media commentators, and putting cool money in the deep pockets of lawyers and other beneficiaries while wasting our time and browsing data,&#8221; he remarked.</p>
