Hold APC responsible for violent protests in Kano, group tells Tinubu

A coalition of Northern social movements has asked President Bola Tinubu to hold members of his ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) responsible for the destruction and looting of public property during the #EndBadGovernance protest in Kano.

The movement, under the platform of the Nigeria Patriotic Front Movement (NPFM), faulted the president’s national broadcast for failing to address the core demands of protesters.

Briefing journalists Tuesday at the Kano press centre, the convener of the group, Comrade Abdulmajid Yakubu Daudu, said the Thursday demonstration, which started peacefully, was suddenly interrupted by another group organised by an APC chieftain.

Comrade Daudu expressed concern that while President Tinubu was prompt to highlight the devastation that erupted in Kano following the protest, the president was silent about those who sponsored anti-protest youth to unleash terror on those genuinely advocating for good governance.
