The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has called for the arrest of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement and presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
In a statement issued by Kano APC chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, the party accused Kwankwaso of making baseless allegations against the Federal Government.

During the flag-off ceremony for the construction of an 85-kilometer rural road in his hometown, Madobi, Kwankwaso claimed that the APC-led federal government was attempting to disrupt peaceful coexistence in Kano. Abbas responded that Kwankwaso’s threats would not intimidate the government.
“The embattled NNPP chieftain, who is visibly disturbed by the dismal performance of his protégé over the last year, should be arrested by security agents to reveal those he claims are recruiting Boko Haram terrorists,” Abbas stated.

Abbas further asserted that Kwankwaso’s comments suggest a sinister motive to cause unrest in Kano.
He accused Kwankwaso of being a long-term security threat, running a cult-like movement that recruits youth to incite violence.
Abbas claimed that during the 2023 election, thousands of youths were empowered to intimidate the public and that Kwankwaso’s associates had threatened judges during the legal battles over the governorship election.
The APC chairman also alleged that since the reinstatement of Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi as Emir, weapon-brandishing thugs have been stationed at the Emir’s Palace, posing a threat to local residents.
In light of these accusations, the Kano APC is urging security agents to arrest Kwankwaso to uncover the truth behind his allegations and to maintain peace and security in Kano State.
