My Demolition Orders Not A Vendetta Mission- Kano Governor

Kano state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf has insisted that the demolition of some structures across the state should not be interpreted as a vendetta.

Since assuming office on May 29, Yusuf has ordered the demolition of structures he said were “illegally” built and approved by the former administration of Abdullahi Ganduje.

The governor said some public properties were given to some “sacred cows” in the immediate past administration.

During a visit to the governor by Aliyu Abdulkadir, the Emir of Gaya, on Saturday, Yusuf said critics should keep records of his work and judge him after he has finished his tenure.

He promised that his administration would promote and support health care, education, and agriculture.

In a statement by his spokesperson, Hisham Habib, Yusuf added that it is not proper for anyone in power to take public property and convert it for personal use.

The governor had also made a similar statement when Aminu Ado Bayero, the Emir of Kano, visited him at the government house on June 30.

He said he has no regret ordering the demolition of structures across the state, adding that “it is in the interest of the good people of Kano.”
