The 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has berated the Federal Government, accusing it of snubbing Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf in the distribution of palliatives in the state.
Kwankwaso, in a statement on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday, said the Federal Government distribution of rice palliative to 35 states was all done through their governors, except Kano State in the whole federation.
“Kano’s share was handed over to APC stalwarts to handle. This is a gross insult to our constitutional democracy and driving partisanship too far,” he said even as he called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to stop the injustice.
The post reads:
“For the last one week I have been in Kano, and sadly I noted with great disappointment the Federal Government distribution of rice palliative to 35 states all through their Governors, except Kano State in the whole federation.
“Kano’s share was handed over to APC stalwarts to handle. This is a gross insult to our constitutional democracy and driving partisanship too far.
“I call on Mr. President to immediately halt this naked derailment of democracy.
“I have also noted with great concern that within a span of just two weeks, 3 different State Directors of DSS were posted and reposted out of Kano and we are still counting. Without doubt this is negatively affecting the security of Kano State.”
