From Desmond Mgboh, Kano

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has implored victims of the recent demolition exercise embarked upon by the Kano State government to seek legal redress while describing the action of the new NNPP administration as barbaric and unacceptable.

Speaking at a press conference, yesterday, at the NUJ Press Center, Acting  State Chairman of the opposition party, Shehu Maiagari Makaddashin, condemned the spate of demolition of business interests and property across the state by the Governor, Engineer Abba Kabir Yusuf.

“The action of the state government has brought unnecessary chaos, rampant vandalism, daylight robbery and grabbing of property belonging to innocent members of the Kano society,” he lamented.

The opposition party insisted that the demolition has destroyed the means of livelihood of the people of the state, while lamenting that it has equally tarnished the reputation of the state as a safe commercial center for secured business investment.

The APC appealed to security agencies in the state to step up action and restore the people’s confidence in the light of the shock they had experienced while imploring parents and guardians to caution their children against being used as agents of destruction by the state government.

“ We assure the good people of the state of our prayers and support in this trying period; we also implore those affected directly or indirectly to seek redress in the court of law.”
