Progressive League of Youth Voters (PLYV) has decried the do-or-die politics by a section of the political elite in Kano State. The group, led by Audu Shuaibu, called on security agencies to come to the aid of Kano residents and protect the good people from desperate politicians bent on breaching the peace in the state.
 
In a statement, yesterday, it claimed that it was privy to information that the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP)-led administration in the state planned to convey rioters, in the guise of its supporters, from the 44 local councils of the state into Kano metropolis to protest against the recent Court of Appeal ruling on the November 11 governorship election.

The group alleged: “The state government is using the over 100 luxurious buses purchased by the immediate past governor and National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, to convey these rioters as passengers, to enable them bypass security agencies and cause mayhem in the state capital. The rioters have been mobilised and instructed to cause maximum mayhem in the city upon arrival.
 
“The aim is to blackmail and frighten the Supreme Court panel of judges that will be sitting on the Kano governorship appeal. We condemn and consider this a sheer blackmail, which must be resisted by the judiciary and well-meaning Nigerians.”
