Kebbi State Deputy Governor, Senator Umar Abubakar Tafida, has reacted to the Supreme Court judgment affirming Alhaji Muhammadu Iliyasu Bashar as the rightful Emir of Gwandu.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Tafida congratulated the Emir on the verdict and described the ruling as a significant step toward restoring lasting peace and unity in the emirate.
Daily Post gathered that the judgment, delivered on Wednesday, ended a two-decade legal battle that began with the removal of Al-Mustapha Haruna Jokolo in 2005.
The deputy governor urged all parties involved in the dispute to accept the court’s decision and work collectively toward stability and development in Gwandu Emirate.
He also cautioned residents in flood-prone areas of the state to take necessary precautions by relocating to safer grounds, citing the recent flood incidents in Niger State as a warning.
