This was just as Kwankwaso, who was a former Kano state governor also accused the Federal Government of attempting to create a new breed of terror group and insurgents in Northern Nigeria.
According to a press statement signed by the Chief press secretary to Kano state governor Sanusi Bature Dawakin- Tofa,quoted Kwankwaso ,made the statement while reacting to the ongoing situation in Kano where federal security agencies are allegedly backing the deposed Emir Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero.
“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.”
He said that ” The Federal Government was listening to some unpatriotic politicians from Kano who would only contribute to its failure.
He vowed that the people of Kano would resist any attempt to undermine the constitutional responsibility of the governor by any individual or group.
“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,” Kwankwaso emphatically warned.
According to him ” We have mass followership because people believe in us, we are pro-people and the NNPP administration is determined to serve them anywhere they voted for it,” he said.
He however warned that “we will not fold our arms and watch enemies of the state destroy 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.
He added that ” 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.
