FCT, Abuja – On Thursday, August 15, Abdullahi Ganduje, the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), demanded that the Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, be investigated.
Ganduje alleged that Governor Yusuf made inciting comments ahead of the protests.
As reported by Vanguard, he noted that contrary to claims by the Kano state government suggesting that the APC sponsored the violent protests in Kano State recently, it was Governor Yusuf who incited the protest to tarnish the image of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration.
The APC chairman said the governor had earlier told the protesters that he was with them, only to make a u-turn after it became obvious that the protest had gone out of hands.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday, Ganduje’s chief press secretary, Edwin Olofu, stated that credible intelligence reports revealed that the protest, which tragically turned bloody, was directly sponsored by the state, The Nation reported.
Part of the statement reads:
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Governor Abba Yusuf alleged that the attack by protesters at the Kano court during the August hardship demonstration was politically motivated and planned work.
According to the Kano state government, the vandalism of the Kano State High Court was orchestrated to destroy important documents related to ex-Governor Ganduje’s corruption trial.
After assessing the damage at the court, Governor Yusuf urged the youth in the state to avoid being used as a tool for violence.
