In form of state of emergency in Kano will be resisted – Kwankwaso

Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, the Kwankwasiyya Movement’s leader and a former governor of Kano State, has declared the state will fight any prospective declaration of emergency.

He charged that the federal government had compromised Kano security by refusing to remove the heavy operatives protecting Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, the ousted Kano emir.

In response to the current events in Kano, where it is purported that federal security agencies are supporting the ousted Emir Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, Kwankwaso took action.

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony for the 82-kilometer rural road network in his native Madobi, Senator Kwankwaso declared that the Kano people will thwart any attempt to subvert the state’s established authority.

“We have mass followership because people believe in us, we are pro-people and the NNPP administration is determined to serve them anywhere they voted for it,” he said.

Kwankwaso added that as politicians, “we will not fold our arms and watch enemies of the state destroy the peaceful co-existence of our dear state, as we shall do everything possible to support the governor to succeed. I am happy that he is not distracted and is focused on achieving his goals.

“There are people from Kano, enemies of the state, who also suffer mental illness and are the ones advising the Federal Government on how to take over Kano through a State of Emergency. This is the madness of the highest order that the good, peace-loving and committed people of Kano will resist.”

Kwankwaso also stated that “in the build-ups to 2027, some desperate politicians are already on a mission of disruption, but we will rather prefer the two of us to lose than to allow them to crush us unnecessarily.

“We dare anybody, who thinks he can victimise us politically, to be rest assured that we are ready for the fight.

“We are not afraid to be out of power because we will remain politicians in or out of government, we cannot run away from our destiny, we are humans, we know what is good for us and we will pursue it vigorously.”

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) national leader further stated that the Federal Government was listening to some unpatriotic politicians from Kano who would only contribute to its failure.

He vowed that the people of Kano would resist any attempt to undermine the constitutional responsibility of the governor by any individual or group.

“We are open to dialogue, truce and reconciliation, but we will not accept intimidation and political harassment of any sort.

“We know how to play politics and we have all it takes to protect ourselves from any evil,” Kwankwaso said.
