The All Progressives Congress, APC, Kano State chapter has charged security agencies and residents to hold Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso responsible for any breach of peace during and after the March 23 governorship election rerun in the state. The party made this while expressing worry over inciting comments allegedly credited to Kwankwaso, ahead of the supplementary election.

The state chapter of the party said the former governor of the State has continued to mobilize his followers to cause chaos. Their claim was contained in a statement signed by the state Commissioner of Information, Youth and Culture, who doubles as the Chairman, Publicity Committee, Kano APC Campaign Organization, Malam Muhammad Garba.

“It is no longer secret that Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso has seen the March 23 supplementary election as a war he is not ready to lose. His recent utterances indicate his ability to incite and cause violence in the state before, during and after the elections.

“It is on record that Senator Kwankwaso has continued to mobilize his followers to cause chaos and mayhem in Kano all in the name of election, even though he is not a candidate in the contest. It is pertinent at this crucial period to draw the attention of the Federal Government and security agencies to recent inciting comments credited to Senator Kwankwaso, calling for war and violence before, during and after the elections.”

Also, the Senator representing Kano central senatorial district, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has said President Muhammadu Buhari was misinformed to have said he diverted state funds for his presidential campaign.

The President while speaking to the Nigerian community in France earlier in the month, said Ganduje was very responsible to have continued and completed the projects started by Kwankwaso, his predecessor.

The president said someone else could have diverted funds meant for completing the projects. Although he did not mention the name of Kwankwaso, it was clear that Buhari was referring to Kwankwaso.

“I compliment the governor for doing so much. He invited me, I went to Kano, the good projects started by Kwankwaso in education and healthcare, which is [where] a lot of emphasis should be made for ordinary Nigerians, the majority, poor Nigerians, Ganduje completed them,” Buhari had said.

“If it were another person, he could have left them to show them this is the project he started, he diverted the balance to go and contest for presidency, instead of completing it.”

But reacting when he featured on Aminchi FM, a radio station in Kano, Kwankwaso, a former presidential aspirant, said it is untrue that Ganduje completed the good projects he abandoned.

“The president was misinformed, he has no idea about what is going on in Kano. There is no project left behind by me that was completed by Ganduje. What he completed are the former Governor Shekarau’s uncompleted projects, not mine. I instructed my supporters not to react to that as there was no need because those informing the president lied to him.” He said.
