Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Governor of Kano State, has dismissed allegations that protesters looted and took away sensitive documents related to his corruption trial. In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, Ganduje described these claims as a "huge joke."
He alleged that credible intelligence reports indicated the protest, which turned violent, was actually sponsored by the current Kano State administration under Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. Ganduje countered the Kano State government's accusation that the APC was behind the protests, stating that it was the Kano government itself that funded the protests in an attempt to tarnish the reputation of President Bola Tinubu's administration.
The chairman stressed that it was alarming that a sitting governor would incite such chaos and violence within his state, putting the lives and properties of innocent citizens at risk.
Ganduje, therefore, condemned this reckless and irresponsible behaviour, which he said was an attempt to destabilize Kano, undermine the peace and security of the region, and more importantly tarnish the good image of the President.
He demanded that the federal government, through relevant security agencies, immediately launch a thorough investigation into the Kano State Government’s involvement in this unfortunate incident.
Ganduje maintained that the sponsors of this violence must be brought to justice to ensure that this does not set a dangerous precedent for other states.
He noted: “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.”
