Palliative: Kwankwaso rejects handing over of Kano’s share to APC stalwarts

Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former governor of Kano State, has said the Federal Government’s decision to give Kano’s share of rice palliative to All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwarts to handle is derailment of democracy.

Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso stated in a post on his Facebook handle on Monday.

He said that the Federal Government distributed rice palliative to 35 states through their governors, except Kano State.

The former governor added that he noted how three different State Directors of Department of State Services (DSS) were posted and reposted out of Kano.

He said, “For the last one week I have been in Kano, and sadly I noted with great disappointment the Federal Government distribution of rice palliative to 35 states all through their Governors, except Kano State in the whole federation. Kano’s share was handed over to APC stalwarts to handle. This is a gross insult to our constitutional democracy and driving partisanship too far.
“I call on Mr. President to immediately halt this naked derailment of democracy. I have also noted with great concern that within a span of just two weeks, 3 different State Directors of DSS were posted and reposted out of Kano and we are still counting. Without doubt this is negatively affecting the security of Kano State.”
