Ganduje reveals who to hold responsible for violent nationwide protests in Kano
Dr. Abdulahi Ganduje, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has dismissed as unfounded and laughable the allegations that protesters looted and absconded with ‘sensitive documents’ related to his corruption trial.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, Ganduje on Thursday asserted that credible intelligence indicates that the recent protests, which turned violent, were directly funded by the administration of Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
Contrary to the Kano government’s allegations that the APC was behind the violent protests, Ganduje claimed that it was actually the Kano State government that orchestrated and financed the unrest in a bid to damage the reputation of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Ganduje expressed grave concern over the actions of a sitting governor inciting violence and chaos within his state, endangering the lives and properties of innocent citizens.
He condemned what he described as reckless and irresponsible behavior aimed at destabilizing Kano, undermining regional peace and security, and tarnishing the President’s image.
The APC Chairman has called for an immediate and thorough investigation by federal security agencies into the Kano State Government’s role in the incident.
He emphasised the need to hold those responsible accountable to prevent similar occurrences in other states.
He noted: “It is laughable that governance has been reduced to a huge joke in Kano state that the state government will condescend low to suggesting that demonstrators broke into a court and carefully selected documents relating to the trial of the APC National Chairman, handpicked them and take them away in this digital age, no discerning mind will buy into this pedestrian propaganda.
“What happened to the documents with the government lawyers? The state government is bereft of ideas on how to run the affairs of the state and has always resorted to churning out myriads of corruption allegations against the former governor of the state Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and his family who served the state diligently.
“This claim is nothing more than a desperate attempt by Governor Yusuf’s administration to divert attention from their culpability in the violence that erupted in the state.
“The insinuation that such critical documents could be carted away during a protest is not only far-fetched but also a clear indication of the state’s growing incompetence in handling both security and legal matters.”
