NPFM Chairman Daudu has accused pro-Tinubu groups of being behind the targeted looting and arson in Kano.

The Nigerian Patriotic Front Movement (NPFM) has alleged that the mayhem and wanton destruction of public and private property in Kano was perpetrated by supporters of the president Bola Tinubu.

The group spoke during a press conference on Tuesday in Kano, led by the Chairman Abdulmajid Daudu, accusing the president of blame game in the aftermath of the violence that marred the protests in Kano.

He said the president refused to address the demands of the people that include high cost of living, bad governance and extreme poverty in the country.

“The president blamed protest organisers for the violence. Yet, here too, he was silent about the thuggery, bloodletting, and murderous conduct of those who unleashed mayhem, in his name, especially in Kano, where public and private properties were looted, destroyed, and set ablaze.

“This havoc was not spontaneous. It was, in certain respects, targeted. How do we explain the looting and arson at the NCC office? Or the attack on the Karno state high court? Even the Kano state government house was not spared.

“However, it was saved by two factors: the heavy security at the main entrance, and the overwhelming presence of peaceful NPFM’s protesters around the same area, blocking the way of the sinister arsonists that they vastly outnumbered.”

“These acts had nothing to do with peaceful protest organisers, but rather the so-called counter protesters whom the president kept mute about. Is this deliberate?

“Core Issues: The president evaded most of the people’s demands, and instead resorted to self-publicity about his good intentions, and the bad political agenda of others. Daudu lamented. (AriseNews TV)
