APC Group Accuses Kano Government of Underperformance

A group known as the APC Patriotic Volunteers has strongly criticized the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) government in Kano State, describing its two-year administration as a “total failure marred by mismanagement, lawlessness, and propaganda.”
Speaking at a press conference in Ka on Wednesday, the group, led by its National President, Alhaji Usman Alhaji (Wazirin Gaya), outlined a series of alleged failures under the administration of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
These include unfulfilled promises in education and infrastructure, as well as a blatant disregard for court rulings. “This administration has failed to honour the rule of law and has continued to operate with impunity,” the group alleged.
According to the APC Patriotic Volunteers, the NNPP-led administration has “virtually nothing to show” for the billions of naira received from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), and other sources. They attributed this lack of visible achievement to “petty sentiments, lack of clear-cut policy direction, poor implementation, and the appointment of incompetent individuals to manage state affairs.”
The group expressed particular concern over the persistent water crisis. “The governor himself admitted failure in water supply, yet the Ministry of Water Resources claimed to have spent N1.68 billion on utilities in just three months,” they said. “Meanwhile, residents continue to suffer from acute water scarcity.” They accused the administration of insincerity and mismanagement.
The Volunteers also condemned the NNPP government’s widespread demolitions of buildings and structures across the state, describing it as a “gross violation of the rule of law.” They said the demolitions caused “loss of property worth billions of naira and several lives,” and noted that the government failed to respect court rulings on cases such as the K/Mata Eid Ground and Daula Hotel.
It was reported that on education, the group dismissed the state government’s declaration of an emergency and the allocation of 31% of the 2025 budget to the sector as “mere propaganda.” They claimed that public schools, especially in rural areas, remain in poor condition, with “overcrowded classrooms, overworked teachers, and a lack of learning materials.” According to them, “the so-called emergency on education is nothing but a deceit.”
They further criticized the NNPP administration for undermining local government autonomy, describing it as “a betrayal of President Tinubu’s efforts to strengthen governance at the grassroots.” The group alleged that local councils were recently forced to contribute funds for the reinstatement of Emir Sanusi II, “even though a court order had directed all parties to maintain the status quo.”
The group raised serious concerns over corruption and media suppression. “Despite uncovering ghost workers and diversion of Ramadan feeding funds, no serious action has been taken,” they said. They also condemned the government’s alleged attempt to silence dissenting voices by “banning live political programs on radio and ejecting media outlets from covering government activities.” The Nigerian Bar Association was commended for defending constitutional rights, with the group noting, “We appreciate the NBA’s courage in standing up for democracy.”
In addition, the Volunteers demanded accountability for $6.6 million in external loans secured between June and December 2023 and over N5 billion in ecological funds. “There is no evidence that these funds were used effectively, especially in addressing flood risks,” they said.
They criticized the handling of the Independent Power Project (IPP) initiated under the previous administration. “Instead of using the power to support water supply, it was diverted to Kwankwasiyya Housing Estate,” they claimed. “Meanwhile, key infrastructure was left to decay, worsening the water crisis.”
