The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Dr Abdulahi Ganduje has described the allegations that protesters looted and absconded with ‘sensitive documents’ relating to his corruption trial as baseless and comical.
The former Governor of Kano State in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu on Thursday said credible intelligence reports revealed that the protest, which tragically turned bloody, was directly sponsored by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s administration.
He said contrary to the claim by the Kano government suggesting that APC sponsored the recent violent protests in Kano, rather it was the Kano State government that funded the protest to tarnish the image of President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
The chairman stressed that it was alarming that a sitting governor would incite such chaos and violence within his state, putting the lives and properties of innocent citizens at risk.
Ganduje, therefore, condemned this reckless and irresponsible behaviour, which he said was an attempt to destabilize Kano, undermine the peace and security of the region, and more importantly tarnish the good image of the President.
He demanded that the federal government, through relevant security agencies, immediately launch a thorough investigation into the Kano State Government’s involvement in this unfortunate incident.
Ganduje maintained that the sponsors of this violence must be brought to justice to ensure that this does not set a dangerous precedent for other states
