Kano Government Accuses Federal Government of Palace Blockade
The Kano State Government has accused the Federal Government of being behind the blockade of the Kano Emir’s palace on Friday, December 6.
Armed police and Department of State Services (DSS) operatives were reported to have sealed off the palace entrance, creating tension in the area.
Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II was set to speak to economists about the tax reform bills in the National Assembly and accompany the new district head, Munir Sanusi, to Bichi. Despite the blockade, the emir held court in the outer palace and led congregational prayers at the Kano Central Mosque.
Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, Secretary to the State Government, expressed frustration, stating on local radio that the move was unexpected and attributed it to the Federal Government. “We woke up to find police sealing the entrance to the palace.
Kano is peaceful, but a few individuals with support from Abuja are trying to disrupt that peace,” Bichi said. He emphasized that the emir’s plans, including escorting the district head, would proceed without interference.
Bichi reinforced the state’s commitment to peace, asserting that no one would destabilize Kano.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
