A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kano, Musa Illiyasu Kwankwaso, has said organizers of the EndBadGovernance protests have failed in their attempts and intrigues to bring down the government of Ahmad Bola Tinubu.
Kwankwaso, who criticized those who instigated the nationwide protests, further described them as “enemies of the country whose actions have political undertones but failed woefully.”
He stated that “the organizers only did what they did to show their hatred and enmity towards President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima’s unrelenting efforts in turning the country into a better place to live.
“They did that to whip up sentiments aimed at denting the image of President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima and to imply that they were responsible for the hunger and starvation the country is experiencing, while in reality, they inherited a bad government but are doing their best to salvage the situation.
“But they have failed, because their negative antics against the duo, rather than denting their image, have made them gain more popularity,” he stated.
Musa Illiyasu Kwankwaso, a former commissioner in the government of Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, also warned Nigerian governors against mismanaging the federal government’s N570billion allocations to their states, saying that anyone who mismanages the funds will face the wrath of God.
According to him, “Regarding the N570 billion given to all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, the governors should fear God because posterity will not forgive them if they mismanage the funds or divert them for personal use.”
He charged them to “utilize it for the employment of youths and women in their respective states.”
