The Presidency on Tuesday accused the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party, of allegedly latching onto “fake reports” about the stoning of the President’s convoy in Kano putting the All Progressives Congress at loggerheads with the Federal Government.
According to the Presidency facts from the law enforcement agencies speak of a clash in Hotoro between the local road transport authorities, the Kano Road Transport Authority and thugs hired by a yet-to-be-identified group that took place when the President was being treated to a banquet at the Government House, longs after he had finished his projects commissioning.
It argued that “the stone-pelters as seen from the video in the fight against the traffic police were innocent children sponsored by politicians and terrorist sympathizers. There is no place for violence in a democracy.“When problems can be resolved through talks, there is no place for stone-pelting, arson and unruly behaviour as we are witnessing in some of the campaigns.”
The Presidency also urged religious and political leaders to steer the youths from the path of violence adding that Buhari has not lost respect in Kano. “The President was in the state to work on the development, safety and security of the lives of common citizens and the happy thing about it was that the good people of Kano State were appreciative of him for the progress the state and the nation at large are making under him.
“It is equally unhealthy for society and it becomes the duty of political, social and religious leaders to correctly inform the misled youngsters to shun the path of violence which is inimical to their own future.“For those who hold the border closure against him, they must come to realise that the 60-70 integrated rice mills in the city today would not have been in place if he had allowed the free-for-all smuggling to continue,” it said.All rights reserved.
