KANO RERUN: Hold Kwankwaso responsible for any breach of peace, APC tells security agencies

The ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) has urged security agencies in Kano State to hold Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso responsible should there be any possible breach of public peace before, during and after the supplementary governorship polls in the state set for March 23.

The call was made in a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Youth & Culture, Malam Muhammad Garba, who revealed that the APC leadership in Kano expressed worry over inciting comments credited to the former governor.

The party stalwart who doubles as the Chairman, Publicity Committee, Kano APC Campaign Organisation, also wondered why the senator has not been called to order by security agencies in the state, particularly, the police.

Meanwhile, Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje yesterday warned that his government would not tolerate any form of violence or disruption during the supplementary polls.

Ganduje said the state government would not fold its arms and watch “some desperate politicians instigate instability” and plunge the state into crisis.

“As governor of Kano State and the Chief Security Officer of the state, I cannot sleep if any drop of blood is wasted. Brandishing of harmful objects is also abhorred by my administration,” Ganduje said.
