Buhari congratulates Gwandu Emir over court victory against his former ADC
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated retired Major-General Muhammad Bashar, Emir of Gwandu over his Supreme Court victory against the deposed former Emir, Major Haruna Jokolo.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated retired Major-General Muhammad Bashar, Emir of Gwandu over his Supreme Court victory against the deposed former Emir, Major Haruna Jokolo.
This is contained in a statement by Buhari’s spokesperson, Garba Shehu, and made available to reporters on Wednesday in Abuja.
Bashar won the 23 years legal battle between him and Jokolo following a split decision by the Supreme Court on Monday.
The Supreme Court held that the deposed Emir of Gwandu did not initiate the suit via due process of law, noting that a pre-action notice was required to be served on the Governor of Kebbi State, even as Jokolo did also, not issue a petition to Governor before initiating the action.
Buhari applauded his friend, Iliyasu, who is also a course mate in the military, for his well deserved victory.
Shehu said in a telephone call from London, Buhari expressed his felicitations to the Emir, urging him to do more to build on the successes and achievements he had attained, even as he faced a challenging distraction from the prolonged litigation.
“I thank Allah for this victory and pray for your long life and good health."
