APC frowns at demolition of structures in Kano

The Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has condemned the ongoing demolition of structures by the New Nigeria People’s Party-controlled government in the state, saying the exercise is ”barbaric.”

 

The Deputy Chairman of the party in the state, Shehu Maigari, made the condemnation on Tuesday while addressing a news conference at the NUJ Press Centre, Kano.

 

Lamenting, he said, “Kano, being a megacity and the commercial nerve centre of the Northern region and other West African countries, is now facing a serious calamity from the NNPP-led administration.

“This barbaric and wanton destruction of the people’s means of livelihood by the State Government calls for serious prayers by all well-meaning persons, as the people are now counting their losses in billions of naira.”

 

He said the demolition exercise had paralysed and brought to a standstill commercial activities at the famous Kantin Kwari and Kofar Wambai markets, among other business areas in the city.

 

“We, therefore, call on all those affected to exercise patience, maintain calmness, explore all legal means to protect their properties, and seek legal redress for the damages done and the losses incurred,” he said.

It also asked security agencies in the state to “step up action that will restore the people’s confidence in the light of the shock and calamity that befell the state.”

 

“Finally, we assure the good people of Kano State of our support and concern in this trying period,” the party chairman added.
