Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and immediate past Governor of Kano State, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has dismissed the call for his arrest by the Kano State Government.
He described the call as unfounded and irresponsible.
Ganduje revealed this in a statement issued by his Chief
Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu.
According to the statement, the move by Governor Abba Kabir
Yusuf’s administration showed a failure to focus on the real security issues
affecting the state.
“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,” he
said.
According to Ganduje, communities in Bagwai, Shanono,
Tsanyawa, and other areas have faced repeated attacks, yet the governor has
neither visited nor shown empathy toward the victims.
“His continued absence in moments that require leadership
speaks volumes of his disconnect from the people he claims to serve,” the
statement added.
Ganduje insisted that he has never been associated with
violence nor linked to any act that undermines the peace and stability of Kano
State.
He stressed that the allegation was only meant to distract
the public.
He urged Governor Yusuf to focus on his constitutional duty
of protecting Kano residents instead of engaging in political theatrics and
issuing unfounded allegations.
Recall that on Friday, the Kano State Government called for
the immediate arrest of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje over alleged inciting statements
and attempts to create an illegal militia group in the state.
