The Kano state chapter of INTER-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) – the umbrella body of registered political parties in Nigeria, – has rejected an alleged plan by the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) to deploy an infamous commander of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, Kolo Yusuf, to Kano as commissioner of police.

In a Press Statement issued after an emergency meeting today in Kano, the Deputy Chairman of IPAC Hon. Isa Nuhu Isa Danfulani who is the state chairman of Zenith Labour Party  along with fifteen chairmen of other political parties have alleged that  the Kano state Governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and other powerful forces at the centre  have lobbied the Inspector General of the Police to deploy Mr. Kolo Yusuf as the new commissioner of police to Kano.

The group said according to an online outlet Daily Nigerian, the IGP, who is out of the country, had given the governor assurance of the posting after his return from an oversea trip.

IPAC narrated that Mr. Kolo was involved in a gruesome murder case of a good citizen of Kano in person Abdullahi Alfa who was beaten to death by the defunct SARS in Kano under the leadership of Mr. Kolo a who was found guilty in a suit number FHC/K/H/CS/84/2013 at a Federal High Court in Kano.

At a news conference on Monday in Kano, the political body recounted on the efforts of notable leaders such as Late of Emir Ado Bayero and Late Bashir Tofa who wrote a petition against Mr. Kolo praying for his transfer out of Kano.

IPAC added that the deployment would also cripple the fragile peace in the state and possibly cause pandemonium during elections because the said police officer is known for flagrant abuse of power.

There have been fears over attempt to destroy the peaceful co-existence Kano enjoys ahead of 2023 elections, as it may be recalled that the Governorship Candidate of the ruling APC and his deputy were caught in election malpractice during the 2019 Governorship election.

The political parties enjoin the IGP and the Police Service Commissioner to carefully select a professional police commissioner to be deployed into the state.

“We wish to also thank the present CP Samaila Dikko who will be retiring soon and the AIG zone one for their professional conduct of duties in Kano”.

” As good citizens and political leaders, we want to reassure our commitment to cooperate with any commissioner of police with good character and attitude posted to Kano state, but we unanimously reject the purported posting of CP Kolo Yusuf”

NNPP Crisis: Assembly Members Deny Factional Differences

Published

By Salisu Baso

As the crisis erupted within Kano’s ruling party NNPP, with some members calling for the governor to stand independently, the Kano State House of Assembly has denied knowledge of any of its members being involved in the rifts.

The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Lawan Hussain, representing Dala Constituency, revealed this to newsmen in an interview with journalists over the publication of an online newspaper, Daily Nigeria, stating that some members of the NNPP in the House have joined the factional crisis.

#

He described the news as a fabricated and mischievous story from unpatriotic elements planning to destroy the peace reigning within the party. He said that as far as the members of the House are concerned, there are no conflicts between the governor and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

The Majority Leader therefore assured the party parliament members of their solid support for the leader of the Kwankwasiyya and state governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, adding that the governor considers Senator Kwankwaso his mentor.

On the issue of some party members calling for the governor to be independent (Tsaya da Kafar Ka), Hon. Dala said the governor is operating independently without interference from any person. He therefore accused some opposition politicians from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, of sponsoring unpatriotic people to ignite a crisis in the state with a view to disrupting the government’s development initiatives.
