The political atmosphere in Kano State has grown increasingly tense as the All Progressives Congress (APC) issues a stern warning to the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP)-led government over recent controversial statements made by Deputy Governor Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam.
Allegations Against Professor Hafsat Ganduje Spark Controversy
In a viral video widely circulated by DAILY POST, Abdulsalam accused Professor Hafsat Abdullahi Ganduje, wife of the former governor and current APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, of financial misconduct. He alleged that during her husband’s tenure, Professor Hafsat played a role in diverting pension funds, ensuring that payments to pensioners were made only after she had taken her share.
APC Condemns Allegations, Calls for Action
Reacting to these accusations, APC’s Kano Publicity Secretary, Ahmad S. Aruwa, strongly criticized the deputy governor’s remarks during an interview with Express Radio Kano. He labeled the statements as defamatory, unconstitutional, and a direct attack on the integrity of Professor Hafsat Ganduje.
Aruwa emphasized that the allegations constituted character assassination and warned that such reckless statements could worsen political instability in Kano. He further cautioned that continued provocation of this nature might lead to drastic federal intervention, including the imposition of a state of emergency, similar to the one recently declared in Rivers State by the Bola Tinubu administration.
Potential Political Fallout
The escalating conflict between the ruling NNPP and opposition APC has raised concerns among political analysts about the future governance of Kano. Many fear that heightened political disputes could disrupt governance and public order in the state.
External Perspectives and Expert Opinions
According to a report by Premium Times (source), political analysts suggest that Kano’s situation requires careful handling to prevent further deterioration of peace and stability. If political actors do not exercise restraint, federal authorities may have no choice but to step in with stringent measures.
Conclusion
As the APC and NNPP continue their heated exchanges, Kano residents remain on edge, uncertain about how the unfolding political drama will affect the state’s governance. Stakeholders are urging both parties to prioritize dialogue over confrontation to avert potential unrest.
