Kwankwaso’s Comments On Kano Emirate Crisis “Disappointing And Incendiary,” Says APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly condemned the comments made by Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, former Governor of Kano State and 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), accusing the APC-led federal government of attempting to create a new breed of Boko Haram terrorists and insurgents in Northern Nigeria.
In a press statement released on June 18, 2024, the APC described Kwankwaso’s allegations as “disappointing, highly incendiary, and unconscionable.”
Felix Morka, Esq., the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, expressed the party’s dismay at Kwankwaso’s unsubstantiated claims, emphasizing the severe social, political, and security implications of such unguarded utterances.
The APC found it particularly disturbing that Kwankwaso, a former Governor and Minister of Defence, would casually accuse the federal government of attempting to create a new breed of Boko Haram terrorists, considering the unspeakable acts of terror inflicted by the group on innocent citizens and the nation’s heroic men and women in uniform.
The APC highlighted the federal government’s glaring neutrality on the emirate crisis in Kano from the very outset, affirming its confidence in the courts to fairly adjudicate the matter. The party firmly stated that the federal government has no need or reason to side with any of the parties in the emir-ship dispute and thrives on respect for the rule of law and constitutional liberties.
The statement also addressed the recent accusations made by the Deputy Governor of Kano state, Comrade Abdulsalam Gwarzo, against the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, which he has since retracted and apologized for. The APC emphasized that such unguarded accusations are utterly unhelpful in the delicate context of Kano and must be avoided.
The APC further defended its leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as a pan-Nigeria bridge builder for peace, security, and unity, asserting that he cannot and must not be tainted with flimsy and unjustifiable allegations of promoting violent crises in any part of the country.
The party called on Kwankwaso, as a statesman, to focus on exploring and exhausting all avenues for political and peaceful solutions to the royal impasse rather than amplifying the drums of strife and upheaval. The APC urged calm as the nation awaits judicial or political resolution of all outstanding matters, emphasizing that the good people of Kano deserve to live in peace, unity, and security.
