The Kano State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the ongoing demolition of structures by the New Nigeria Peoples Party(NNPP)-controlled government in the state, describing the exercise as “barbaric.”

The Deputy State Party Chairman of the APC in the state, Shehu Maigari told reporters yesterday, that “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.”

Shehu 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 platforms in the city.

“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.

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

The party also urged parents and guardians in the city to caution their children and wards on the dangers of them being used as “agents of destruction by the NNPP-led administration.”

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 added.
