APC Out To Destroy Me – Kwankwaso
Former Governor of Kano state and a senator in the national Assembly, Engr. Musa Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Thursday condemned the search on his brother’s home by the police, alleging that the party he worked hard to install in 2015 was after him and members of his family.
Blaming his current humiliation and harassment on the door steps of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the former minister, who was the Minister of Defence during the second term of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, said the APC was determined to undo him.
The police had reportedly raided the apartment of his brother in search of huge cash, arms and documents.
Speaking to the BBC Hausa Service, Kwankwaso said, “We woke up with a distressing situation that some people besieged the house of my brother in Kano for hours; on the allegation that cash and weapons were ferried to the building.
“They bundled the guardsman, threatening him to show them the vehicles and other valuables that were allegedly concealed in a garage within the house.
“The guardsman told them only rabbits were kept there but they forced their way in and that was it, only the rabbits were seen joyfully feasting on spinach.
“Not satisfied, the police ransacked everywhere, including the vehicles in the compound but could not trace anything incriminating. This is very sad and a serious setback for our democracy,” Kwankwaso said.
“We’re very disappointed that impunity is now the order of the day in a country we invested a lot to bring change; this is not the change we bargained for because we’re now in a helpless situation.
“If it were the previous government that’s doing this, we would not complain. Alas! this is being orchestrated by a government we worked to entrench.
“I’m one person that never allowed my immediate or extended family to be part of government while I was a governor; my brother is a retired teacher, but look at what they did to him.”
