Twelve groups under the All Progressives Congress (APC) have supported the call to remove Kano State Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Adamu Bakori after the police command withdrew from the state’s Independence Day celebration.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf had earlier asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to sack Bakori, accusing him of undermining his authority as the state’s chief security officer.
The incident sparked both protests and counter-protests across Kano.
On Saturday, the twelve APC groups, led by Alhaji Shehu Abdullahi, held a press conference in Kano where they backed the governor’s demand.
They also distanced themselves from other APC groups that had shown support for the police commissioner.
Abdullahi warned that “the commissioner’s refusal to take part in the parade could threaten peace and security in the state, potentially leading to loss of lives and property.”
The groups include the Kano State APC Integrity Group, Kano State APC Amalgamation Forum, APC Intellectual Forum, Ganduje Support Group, APC Concern Forum, and APC Media Enlightenment Forum.
Others are Abdullahi Abbas Political Vanguard, Tinubu/Shettima Political Movement, Kano State APC Mager, APC Kano Central Movement, Gawuna/Garo Political Awareness, and APC Dan Sarki Organization
