Stating that the court remains to last hope of the common man especially on issues like this, the former lawmaker said power is transient as it only belongs to God.

“The matter is already before the court and I believe the court, which is the hope of every common man will deliver justice on the matter,” Kurfi said.

He further added that despite the humiliation and treatment given to the former emir, it should never warrant the youths to take laws into their own hands.

“Knowing that power is transient, I urge you all to know that there is no call for alarm as the will of the people will always prevail, no matter how long it is going to take,” the former lawmaker said.
