A high-ranking official of the Assembly, expressed confidence that nothing can prevent the assembly from amending the law.

He said, “We were ready for this longtime ago and Only God can stop this amendment. We wanted all these emirs to go 20 days after this administration was inaugurated but here we are. So tomorrow(Thursday) there would be special session of the assembly to consider and pass the amendment”

A few members of the assembly, including Abdul Labaran Madari, informed BBC Hausa that 12 APC members are currently against the proposed amendment. Their opposition is based on the condition that none of the 5 Emirates will be disbanded, and that the Emir of Kano Aminu Ado Bayero should remain in office without being replaced by Muhammad Sanusi.

Although the NNPP lawmakers in the assembly have sufficient numbers to make the amendment, the opposition members will voice their dissent.

Madari mentioned that the governing party has successfully finalized its strategy for dismantling the Bichi emirate and reinstating the ousted Emir Sanusi.

He mentioned that the remaining Emirates would have jurisdiction over three local government areas each.

Abuja-based lawyer Stan Alieke has withdrawn from representing singer Speed Darlington in his ongoing legal battle with Burna Boy.

This development comes after Speed Darlington’s release from Kuje prison this January, following a two-month detention.

Speed Darlington was freed after being granted bail, and his lawyer, Stan Alieke, confirmed his release on Instagram, expressing determination to seek justice for the alleged illegal detention and violation of Speed Darlington’s fundamental human rights.

Ekwutosblog reported that the singer’s detention stemmed from his accusation that Burna Boy had an immoral relationship with American rapper and music executive Diddy.

Following Speed Darlington’s release, Burna Boy issued a stern warning on Instagram, cautioning Speed Darlington against misbehaving again.

The reasons behind Alieke’s withdrawal are unclear, but possible factors could include professional disagreements, personal reasons, or the complexity of the case.
