Kano residents are experiencing heightened anxiety as the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state gears up for a significant rally, sparking concerns among the populace. The rally is intended as a response to an alleged planned gathering by the ruling New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
NNPP Chairman in Kano, Hashim Dungurawa, clarified that there is no truth to reports of his party organizing a mass rally on Saturday. He called on security agencies to ensure the preservation of peace in the state.
APC stakeholders, addressing the media in Abuja, disclosed their intent to hold a solidarity rally for Nasir Yusuf Gawuna, the APC’s candidate in the 2023 gubernatorial election. Gawuna has been declared the actual winner by both the elections petition tribunal and the Appeal Court, which recently nullified Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s victory.
Rabiu Suleiman Bichi, Director-General of the Gawuna/Garo Campaign Organisation, emphasized that while the NNPP allegedly plans a mass protest, the APC will organize a rally on the same day. Bichi cited their commitment to democracy as the reason for holding the rally concurrently.
