National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Dr Abdulahi Ganduje has

described the allegations that protesters looted and absconded with ‘sensitive

documents’ relating to his corruption trial as baseless and comical.

The former Governor of Kano State in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary,

Edwin Olofu on Thursday said, credible intelligence reports revealed that the protest,

which tragically turned bloody, was directly sponsored by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s

administration, adding that, they are contrary to the claim by the Kano government

suggesting that APC sponsored the recent violent protests in Kano, rather it was the

Kano State government that funded the protest to tarnish the image of President Bola

Tinubu-led administration.

The chairman stressed that it was alarming that a sitting governor would incite such

chaos and violence within his state, putting the lives and properties of innocent

citizens at risk and condemned the reckless and irresponsible behaviour, which he said

was an attempt to destabilize Kano, as well as undermine the peace and security of the

region, and more importantly tarnish the good image of the President, while, the

federal government, through relevant security agencies, immediately launch a

thorough investigation into the Kano State Government’s involvement in this

unfortunate incident.

Ganduje also said, the sponsors of this violence must be brought to justice to ensure

that this does not set a dangerous precedent for other states, noting 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.
