APC’s state of emergency threat escalates political tension in Kano.
The All Progressive Congress (APC) has issued a stern warning to the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Kano State government following controversial comments by the Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam.
Abdulsalam accused Professor Hafsat Abdullahi Ganduje, wife of former Governor and current APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Gnaduje, of financial misconduct, specifically alleging that she interfered with pension funds during her husband’s tenure.
In a widely circulated video obtained, the Deputy Governor claimed that pensioners only received their payments after Professor Hafsat had taken her share of the funds.
Responding to these allegations, APC’s Kano Publicity Secretary, Ahmed S. Aruwa strongly criticized Abdulsalam’s statements during an interview with Express Radio.
He described the remarks as defamatory and a violation of Nigeria’s Constitution.
Aruwa stated that these comments amounted to character assassination and contradicted constitutional principles.
He further warned that such statements could heighten tensions in Kano, potentially leading to the declaration of state of emergency, similar to what was implemented in Rivers Sate by Bola Tinubu administration.
