The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has slammed the Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, over claims that the documents used in the alleged corruption trial instituted against him were stolen when hoodlums invaded a Kano high court during the #EndBadGovernance protest.
Naija News reported that Yusuf, while speaking on Wednesday during an assessment visit to the State High Court, shared his concern over the corruption charges case files taken away by the protesters.
The Governor, who was conducted around the court premises by the Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Haruna Isah Dederi, Chief Registrar of the High Court, Abdullahi Ado Bayero, and other High Court Judges of the state, was furious at what had happened at the court.
Reacting in a statement on Thursday by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, Ganduje accused Governor Yusuf of reducing governance to a huge joke, stressing that no decerning mind will buy into such propaganda.
Ganduje also said it had become clear that Yusuf’s government allegedly funded the violent protest that occurred in Kano, calling on the Federal Government to probe the incident.
The statement reads, “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.
“It is a known fact that the day before the beginning of the protest Governor Yusuf was grandstanding and telling people that he would join them if they wished to protest but unfortunately for him the people hired by the state government to execute the protest against the APC government went haywire against their initial plan.
“We demand that the federal government, through relevant security agencies, immediately launches a thorough investigation into the Kano State Government’s involvement in this unfortunate incident.
“The sponsors of this violence must be brought to justice to ensure that this does not set a dangerous precedent for other states. It is alarming that a sitting governor would incite such chaos and violence within his state, putting the lives and properties of innocent citizens at risk.”
