Anti-demolition protest rocks Kano
Describe Abba yusuf Demolition policy as destructive
Victims of the demolition spree embarked upon by Kano State government have taken to the streets in their hundreds to condemn what they describe as destructive
The protesters gathered, Monday morning, at the front of the demolished muliti-million Naira Daula Hotel along Hadejia Road, in the metropolis carrying placards with various inscriptions condemning the government policy.
Some of the placards read: āDo the right thing Abba Kabir Yusufā, āDonāt drive away investors from Kanoā, āBillions of Naira property demolished because of envyā among various others.
Addressing newsmen at the protest, the organisers headed by the Director, Research and Development Coalition for Good Governance and Change Initiative, Zahraddee Baba, said that it is unfortunate property worth N226 billion has been destroyed within three weeks of the new government.
The group also called on the government to compensate the victims whose property were demolished.
āWe, the people of Kano State, unanimously voted for Governor Abba Yusuf to bring development to the state.
āIt was believed that, the governor is the messiah of the time, who shall continue with peopleās oriented programmes of his predecessor to salvage the people of Kano State.
āIt is unfortunate that within six days in office, the perceived messiah became a source of sorrow to many residents and indigenes of Kano State, who acquired land from the previous administration of Abdullahi Ganduje, when he ordered demolition of properties worth over N226 billion within three weeks in office.
āLet it be on record that six days in office is insignificant for a people-oriented government to order demolition of properties because the time allowed by law for such notice was not followed.
