Group tackles Kano Govt Over comment on Tinubu’s Palliatives

The association for the Welfare of Poor and Vulnerable Nigerians (AWPON) has warned Kano Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf over his comments against the federal government's plan to distribute five hundred billion naira as palliatives for the removal of fuel subsidy.

This was contained in a statement signed by the National Coordinator of AWPON Sambo Dogo, and made available to newsmen in Abuja.

Sambo Dogo said it is unbecoming of a state government like Kano to make such comments on federal government policy which tends to ease hardship caused by removal of fuel subsidy.

According to him, the governor of Kano did not understand how the federal government intended to distribute the palliatives, that is why he is against the sharing formula.

He described the Governor’s statement as a baseless statement, which shows that Kano state government and NNPP hold grudges against federal government and the development of this country.

The organization for the protection of the rights of the poor and the poor of Nigeria has requested the governor of Kano, Abba Kabir Yusuf, to focus on learning how to run the government, not to criticize and oppose the development activities of the federal government.

Earlier this week, the governor of Kano, Abba Kabir Yusuf, through his deputy, Aminu Abdussalam, criticized the federal government for preparing the allocation of five hundred billion naira to about twelve million Nigerians to alleviate the hardship they are facing as a result of the withdrawal of fuel subsidies.

The occasion afforded Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 elections, an opportunity to ventilate his feelings on the forces in political contest in Kano State. Many people believe that Kano is suffering great abuse in the tight grief of Kwankwaso as an alternate, if not the real, governor in his illegal Third Term. In his emotional outburst, the former Presidential candidate alluded to a number of issues, which many see as pointers to the inner workings of his mind, suggesting his political fortunes in the State are nose-diving or in the least taking a big hit. For instance, from the vituperations of Kwankwaso, one can easily understand that, the NNPP, as...
