APC represents thuggery in Kano – Kwankwasiyya spokesperson, Mohammed

The spokesperson for the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Habeeb Saleh Mohammed, said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State is synonymous with thuggery.

Mohammed made the remarks on Friday during an interview with Arise TV, where he also criticized the ruling party for being out of touch with the realities faced by Nigerians, particularly the poor.

He explained that the Kwankwasiyya ideology was created to oppose such conduct.

“What APC represents in Kano State is that they simply represent thuggery. They represent many things that are directly harmful to the masses, to people who are downtrodden, which our ideology seeks to protest,” he said.

Mohammed also criticized the APC at the national level, claiming that the party’s policies do not reflect proper planning or consideration for citizens’ welfare.

“Even at the national level, we can see from the policies rolled out by APC, the commander‑in‑chief, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, does not have an inch of feeling as to what happens when he rolls out policies,” he added.

He further alleged that the government introduces policies without adequately assessing their impact on Nigerians.

“They have never had an opportunity to do what is called policy risk assessment,” he said.

Mohammed accused the party of acting as though it owns Nigeria and forcing citizens to accept its decisions.

“These are the people that feel they own Nigeria, whatever they throw out, you must take it,” he said.

He noted that the Kwankwasiyya Movement believes it cannot work with the APC under any circumstances.

According to the spokesperson, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has his own baggage, which is why he moved to the APC, but there will be a time for further revelations on political decisions.

“We have found home in our relationship with Peter Obi… the years in between have allowed us to understand ourselves,” he said.

The comments came after the Kano State Director of Media, Sanusi Bature, accused Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of working for President Bola Tinubu.
