Gov Yusuf Accuses Opposition Parties Of Fueling Crisis

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has accused actors in the opposition parties of fueling civic unrest and political instability in Kano.

Governor Yusuf pointed accusing fingers while briefing journalists during Wednesday’s State Executive Council Meeting and vowed to deploy drastic measures necessary to nip the resurgence of thuggery in the bud.

The Governor’s reaction follows the recent bloody crisis between some suspected political thugs who unleashed terror on another gang of politicians.

The governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, quoted the governor as having revealed that an intelligence brief after Tuesday’s security council exposed the atrocities of those sponsoring unrest in Kano.

According to the statement, the Governor posited elements in the opposition who are uncomfortable with the state’s steady development, peace, and stability and are embedded to provoke needless crises.
Gov. Yusuf, however, reassured of the administration’s determination to confront the challenges with equal force, insisting that the government would henceforth not tolerate any attempt by any elements to frustrate the enduring peace and tranquillity in the state.
