Hundreds of protesters on Monday hit Kano streets to express their displeasure with the ongoing demolition exercises of the state government.

Daily Trust reports that the government has pulled down some structures while several others have been marked for demolition.

The government premised its action on the grounds that the land upon which the affected structures were erected were “illegally” allocated by the immediate past government.

The structures already demolished include the multi-billion Naira project at the old Daula Hotel, shopping plazas at the Polo Ground and at the Eid ground, while residential and commercial buildings have been marked for demolition at Salanta area and BUK road.

While the government has insisted there is no going back in its resolve to “restore” the Kano Urban Development Masterplan which include removing structures erected on public spaces, the protesters that hit the streets early Monday demanded that the government rescind its decision.

With posters like “Gov Yusuf, your action is sending away investors”, “Don’t bring insecurity to our state, Mr Governor”, and “Let the law takes its cause” among others, the protesters after converging at the demolished Daula Hotel, proceeded to the police headquarters to their grievances.

Speaking on behalf of the protesters, Comrade Zahraddeen Sani Baba of the Coalition for Good Governance and Change Initiative, said if the incumbent governor has anything against his predecessor, “please call him to answer questions instead of punishing innocent Nigerians and destroying their investments.”

Rented crowd

I hope this is not politics of Bitterness against the previous govt.

Politics turned to hatred

Started on a bad note..

Canon the destroyer

In Nigeria, a sitting government uses public money to build a project and then boasts about it as its signature project as though it is a 'personal project'. So another government comes in and erases these signature projects to destroy the past government's source of pride and discredit it. It doesn't care how much of public money is used in building them. That's what is currently happening in Kano and it happened with TINAPA project, which was allowed to waste away with billions dollars already committed.

This means that in Nigeria, governance is still not about the using the PEOPLE's money to meet their needs but about the political interests of selfish politicians. And this persists because the PEOPLE gullibly take sides with politicians and get short-changed like fools.

Wahala! Wahala!

The new governor should not set Kano state on fire

Nlfpmod.

Good.

Would be concerning if the people of Kano were comfortable with their Government declaring buildings “illegal” without court judgement and demolishing them at a whim

If anything it is the demolition of buildings bought by private citizens in good faith without any legal process that is “illegal”.

Anyway these type of politicians should never ever be allowed to enter the federal government. Nigeria must never make a mistake like the incompetent PMB and his failed istration ever again

B

I when this people were Celebrating that APC lose the State. They failed to understand all politicians are the same ... Its just for person interest.

The demolition spree has to be halted before kano is sent back to the Stone Age

It's necessary
Gandujē is a certified criminal and a thief but going haywire to destroy some of the public infrastructure he managed to construct is TOTAL MADNESS.

Correct

That governor must be out of his mind

Na una sabi , no use ya brain o ...

Thank God we rejected that Shinedu Rhodes vivour in lagos.

That one would have started by demolishing Oba Palace,then proceed to Bourdillon, then to lekki-ikoyi link bridges then to ikeja and marina train stations then to Oshodi bus terminus

When they chose a psychopath as their leader what do you expect

Mr Demolition man can now rest

Lol.

Instead of him to work hard to gain the heart of the people he busy fighting war that is beyond him .

The guy one destroy the whole state

95% don't know why they are standing under the sun.

Protest for what again ??!
