NNPP GOVT IN KANO BEHIND PROTESTS AGAINST ME – GANDUJE

The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has alleged that the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) administration in Kano State was behind the various protests against him in Abuja.

He said in a statement by his special assistant on civil society and support groups, Comrade Okpokwu Ogenyi, that the state government had been hiring people from the streets, mostly Kwankwasiyya members, some of whom are from the North Central geo-political zone to protest and demand his resignation.

“We are privy to credible information that Governor Yusuf is working with some persons from the North Central zone and has doled out huge sum of money to some persons to sustain campaign against the Ganduje’s led working committee in his desperate but fruitless mission to remove Ganduje as the national chairman of the APC.

“They have now resorted to using some persons in the North Central geo-political zone to demand Ganduje’s removal after they failed woefully to achieve their satanic agenda in Kano State. What is of concern to us is the wastage of state resources badly in need in Kano State for the provision of basic amenities to our people. This is politics taken too far.”“While calling on security agents to be vigilant in order to ensure security of lives and property, the APC chieftain said, “Some of the hired protesters also forgot that they were dressed in Kwankwasiyya T-shirts and caps during the protest to the APC national secretariat, yet claimed to be members of the APC; what a dangerous move to scuttle peace of our party,” the statement said. The state government has however denied the allegation.
