The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and recent Governor of Kano State, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has rejected the call for his arrest made by the Kano State Government.
He labeled the demand as baseless and irresponsible.
Ganduje made this known in a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu.
The statement indicated that the actions of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf's administration reflected a failure to address the genuine security challenges facing the state.
“It is truly unfortunate that instead of tackling the rising insecurity plaguing the state, Governor Yusuf has opted to pursue distractions while seeking scapegoats to mask his evident shortcomings,” he remarked.
Ganduje pointed out that communities in Bagwai, Shanono, Tsanyawa, and other regions have suffered repeated assaults, yet the governor has neither visited nor expressed concern for the victims.
“His ongoing absence during critical moments that necessitate leadership speaks volumes about his disconnect from the people he claims to represent,” the statement noted.
Ganduje affirmed that he has never been involved in violence or linked to any actions that threaten the peace and stability of Kano State.
He emphasized that the accusations were merely intended to divert public attention.
He urged Governor Yusuf to concentrate on his constitutional responsibility of safeguarding the residents of Kano instead of indulging in political theatrics and making unfounded claims.
It is worth noting that on Friday, the Kano State Government called for the immediate arrest of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje over alleged incitement and attempts to form an illegal militia group in the state.
