Federal Government has been accused of orchestrating destructive politics to strangulate the economy and heritage of Kano for selfish ambition ahead of 2027.

A Kano-based public affairs analyst, Usman Muhammad Usman, in a statement yesterday worried why the Tinubu administration allegedly deploy all resources to sustain the development of Lagos but cared less about the survival of the people of Kano.

Usman particularly described the Federal Government ban on Kano Durbar, a UNESCO-designated festival, recognition as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as a major setback for the tourism and hospitality business in the state.

IN another development, the Kano State Government has denied claims that it secured a new external loan of $6.6 million under the current New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) administration.

In a statement issued, yesterday, the Director General of the Kano State Public Debt Management Office, Hamisu Sadi Ali, refuted the allegations made by a group known as the APC Patriotic Volunteers.

The group had alleged that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s government took on new debt within two years of assuming office, as reported by the Daily Nigerian on June 11, 2025.

But Sadi Ali described the claims as “baseless” and “politically motivated,” insisting that the current administration had not signed or contracted any new domestic or external loan since assuming office.
