Former Kano State governor and leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has called on the Federal Government to refrain from interfering in matters exclusively under the jurisdiction of the Kano State Government.
Kwankwaso’s remarks followed a recent terror alert issued by the Kano State Police Command, which he described as both unnecessary and harmful to the state’s interests.
Recall the Kano State Police Command issued a terror alert less that 24 hours to the kickoff of the annual Tijjaniya Maulud.
Consequently, heavy security was deployed to bar the entrance of the venue of the maulud.
Reacting to the development, the Kano State government promptly kicked against the action and called on the police to withdraw, calling the alert baseless and unnecessary.
Taking to his official X on Monday, Kwankwaso congratulated the Tijjaniyya Sufi Order for successfully hosting the annual Maulud of Sheikh Ibrahim Inyass, their spiritual leader at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano.
