Former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has accused the federal government of colluding with enemies to destroy the state.
Kwankwaso said this during the ceremony for the construction of 82 kilometres of rural road networks in Madobi.
According to Kwankwaso, the people of Kano would resist any move to undermine the constituted authority in the state.
Kwankwaso’s comment is in reaction to the Kano emirate where security agencies are being accused of supporting the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado-Bayero.
“We have mass followership because people believe in us; we are pro-people, and the NNPP administration is determined to serve them anywhere they vote for it,” he said.
“We will not fold our arms and watch enemies of the state destroying the peaceful co-existence of our dear state, as we shall do everything possible to support the governor to succeed.
“I am happy that he is not distracted and is focused on achieving his goals.
“There are people from Kano, enemies of the state, who also suffer mental illness and are the ones advising the Federal Government on how to take over Kano through a State of Emergency.
He described the development as madness of the highest order that the people of Kano will resist.
“In the build-ups to 2027, some desperate politicians are already on a mission of disruption, but they will rather prefer the two of us to lose than to allow them to crush us unnecessarily.”
He said anyone, who can victimise the government politically, should be assured that the party is ready for the fight.
“We are not afraid to be out of power because we will remain politicians in or out of government. We cannot run away from our destiny; we are humans; we know what is good for us and we will pursue it vigorously,” Kwankwaso said.
“We are open to dialogue, truce, and reconciliation, but we will not accept intimidation and political harassment of any sort. We know how to play politics, and we have all it takes to protect ourselves from any evil.”
