The outspoken stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano, Musa Ilyasu Kwankwaso, has called on President Bola Tinubu to hold Kano State governor Abba Yusuf responsible for the destruction, vandalism, and loss of lives and property during the recent hunger protest.

Kwankwaso stated this yesterday in Kano while addressing newsmen on the protest as well as the achievements of President Bola Tinubu in the last one year.

He alleged that it was the state governor who called on the public to come out and protest and even said he would wait for them at the Government House to receive their complaints and promised to forward them to the presidency for action.

However, he said, “The hungry and angry people engaged in mayhem and wanton destruction of lives and property for which the governor should take responsibility.

“In Kano, it was the governor who called the hungry and angry people to come out to protest. Now that people have been killed and property vandalised, he should take responsibility and pay the compensation.

“Let the victims seek the services of competent lawyers, go to court and seek for compensation from the state. Because it was the governor who asked you to come out to protest even as his boss Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has called on the people not to protest. He must pay for the compensation.

“As for what Kwankwaso did, I commend him, it is true that we should prepare our votes against the 2027 election instead of engaging in protest.

“We are drawing the attention of Mr President to instruct the Kano State governor to pay the compensation for the damages, looting and loss of lives suffered by the people of Kano,” he stated.

He further blamed the state governor for the hardship being faced by the citizens, saying that President Bola Tinubu had shared about N570 billion with all the states and is confident that Kano State had gotten not less than N50 billion.

 

„With these availability of funds given to the governors, Nigerians should not be crying of hunger if properly utilised in human development projects.

 

„As I have stated, even the flyovers they are constructing is no part of the special allocation they received, it is the local government money, up to N15 billion. How can you take money from my local government and come and build bridges in the city? Is wrong.

 

„What I am saying here is that the problem is not with Mr President, is the governors. I am not isolating my own governor alone but all the governors. There are governors that are doing very well, you cannot generalise, but the problem is with the governors.

 

„You did not hear any of the 36 governors complaining over the removal of fuel subsidy because they are beneficiaries of the money. But they have not explained this to the grassroots. So let us be realistic.

 

„Let we the masses understand that the president and his vice, Kashim Shetima mean well for the people of the country.

 

„You should desist from destruction of property meant for your benefit. Especially the ICT hub of the NCC that was about to be commissioned when it was vandalised. If it had been allowed to be put to use, more than 11,000 persons will benefit from it from Kano.

 

„This is very shameful, it is a shame on us to have vandalised and destroyed that multimillion naira project,“ he stated.

 

He mentioned some of the projects the northwest is benefitting from this administration that include the resumption of the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano road, the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano pipelines, the northwest development commission, the Zaria-Zamfara road among others.

 

He also said that President Bola Tinubu is there for the masses under his renewed hope agenda, in which the minister for housing has since flagged off the construction of 1000 housing units each in Katsina, Kano, Yobe, and some other southern parts.
