The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has accused Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano of funding the unrest in the state to destabilise President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Ganduje’s comments was in response to claims by the Kano State government that the APC was behind the violence.
Governor Yusuf had also claimed that Ganduje’s alleged corruption documents were carted away during the protests.
According to a statement by Ganduje’s chief press secretary, Edwin Olofu, credible intelligence stated that Governor Yusuf’s administration was directly responsible for the violent protests and demanded a thorough probe by the Federal Government.
Ganduje Reacts To Stolen Documents
Olofu further said: “We find the allegations that protesters looted and absconded with ‘sensitive documents’ relating to the ongoing witch-hunting under the guise of the corruption trial of former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje as baseless and comical.
“It is laughable that governance has been reduced to a huge joke in Kano state that the state government will condescend low to suggesting that demonstrators broke into a court and carefully selected documents relating to the trial of the APC National Chairman, handpicked them and take them away in this digital age, no discerning mind will buy into this pedestrian propaganda.
“What happened to the documents with the government lawyers? The state government is bereft of ideas on how to run the affairs of the state and has always resorted to churning out myriads of corruption allegations against the former governor of the state Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and his family who served the state diligently.
“This claim is nothing more than a desperate attempt by Governor Yusuf’s administration to divert attention from their culpability in the violence that erupted in the state.
“The insinuation that such critical documents could be carted away during a protest is not only far-fetched but also a clear indication of the state’s growing incompetence in handling both security and legal matters.
