"I’m not known for violence" ~Ganduje dismisses Kano's demand for his arrest, calls it baseless and reckless
APC former national chairman Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has described the Kano State Government’s demand for his arrest as “baseless” and “reckless” insisting the allegation is nothing more than a diversionary tactic.
After the state executive council meeting on Friday, Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs Ibrahim Wayya told reporters that the council deliberated on Ganduje’s alleged inciting comments regarding the state’s exp0sure to band!try.
According to Wayya, suspected band!ts invaded some border communities less than two days after the alleged remarks, sparking susp!cion that the comments may have been deliberate or connected to the atta¢k.
He further urged security agencies to probe and arr€st Ganduje for allegedly attempting to form an unlawful militia group.
In response, through his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, Ganduje has said that the allegations portray “desperation” and “incompetence” on the part of Governor Abba Yusuf.
“It is deeply unfortunate that rather than addressing the escalating insecurity ravaging the state, Governor Yusuf has chosen to chase shadows while searching for scapegoats to conceal his glaring failures,” the statement reads.
“At a time when communities such as Bagwai, Shanono and Tsanyawa and other affected areas are living in f€ar, the governor has neither visited nor shown empathy towards the v!ctims.
“His continued absence in moments that require leadership speaks volumes of his disconnect from the people he claims to serve.”
Olofu added that Ganduje governed Kano for eight years without being associated with vi0lence, arguing that the former governor’s record of maintaining peace contrasts sharply with what he described as the “directionless” approach of the current administration.
“Governor Yusuf should focus on his constitutional duty of protecting Kano residents instead of engaging in political theatrics and peddling unfounded allegations.
“Leadership is demonstrated through purposeful action, responsibility and compassion, not through press conferences and issuing frivolous statements aimed at diverting public attention from one’s failures.”
