The Presidential Candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, has accused the All Progressive Congress (APC)-led administration for attempting to create a new breed of Boko Haram terrorists in Northern Nigeria.
Kwankwaso was reacting to the ongoing situation in Kano, where Federal security agencies with constitutionally assigned responsibility for ensuring peace, law and order, have been backing the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero.
This was contained in a late night press statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Kano State governor, in person of Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
Speaking at a flag-off ceremony for the contruction of 82 kilometres rural road networks at his hometown, Madobi, Senator Kwankwaso said that people of Kano will resist any attempt to undermine the constituted authority in the state.
He stated that, “We have mass followership because people believe in us, we are pro-people and the NNPP administration is determined to serve them anywhere they voted for it.”
He added that as politicians, “we will not fold our arms and watch enemies of the state destroying the peaceful co-existence of our dear state, as we shall do everything possible to support the governor to succeed. I am happy that he is not distracted and is focused on achieving his goals.”
Further that, “There are people from Kano, enemies of the state, who also suffer mental illiness and are the ones advising the Federal Government on how to take over Kano through a State of Emergency. This is madness of the highest order that the good, peace loving and committed people Kano will resist.”
He also mentioned that, “In the build ups to 2027, some desparate politicians are already on a mission of distruption, but we will rather prefer the two of us to loose than to allow them crush us unneccessarily. We dare anybody, who thinks he can victimise us politically, to go and be rest assured that we are ready for the fight.”
“We are not afraid to be out of power because we will remain politicians in or out of government, we cannot run away from our destiny, we are humans, we know what is good for us and we will persue it vigorously,” he vowed.
The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) national leader further stated that the Federal Government is listening to some unpatriotic politicians from Kano, who will only contribute to its failure because, he said, the people of Kano will resist any attempt to undermine the constitutional responsibility of the Governor by any individual or any group.
“We are open to dialogue, truce and reconcliation, but we will not accept intimidation and political harassement of any sort. We know how to play politics and we have all it takes to protect ourselves from any evil,” Kwankwaso had emphatically warned.
