Kano: Kwankwaso must name terrorism sponsors – APC
According to Vanguard, the APC chairman in Kano, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, called on the security agents in a statement on Tuesday, June 18.
Abbas said security agencies must not let the ex-governor’s allegations go uninvestigated.
Abbas’ statement reads in part:
“Nigeria Security owes an urgent responsibility of not only arresting Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who is behind the allegations, but they must make him mention those who are sponsoring the insecurity in the State.”
Kwankwaso accuses FG of sponsoring new terrorism
The NNPP presidential candidate had on Monday, June 17, levelled several allegations against the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
Speaking at the flag-off ceremony for the 85-kilometer rural road construction in his hometown, Madobi, Kwankwaso accused the federal government of aiding a new breed of terrorists in Kano.
Buttressing his point, he faulted the deployment of heavy security at the Nasarawa mini-palace where the deposed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero had been staying.
But reacting to the allegation, the APC chairman in Kano asked the security agencies to detain Kwankwaso.
Abbas said the statement is condemnable as it indicates a sinister plan from Kwankwaso’s side
