An alleged ruling party APC, sponsored group under anti-terrorist group, National Coalition against Terrorism, has petitioned the headship of Department of State Services (DSS), to immediately invite the presidential candidate of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, for interrogation before his Kwankwasiyya movement sets the country on fire.
The group equally urged the secret police to also investigate Kwankwaso over the escalating incidents of unrest in Kano State recently.
It claimed that since the eve of the tribunal judgement on Kano State governorship election petition, which sacked Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, judicial workers, especially judges have been the target of his foot soldiers for elimination.
Coordinator of the group Mr Terrence Kuanum made the disclosure in his speech at a world press conference, they tagged ‘Rabiu Kwankwaso’s extreme radicalism an act of terrorism.
Warning of dare consequences of their actions, the group noted that; “this is an act of terrorism that must be properly checked by the security agencies in order to forestall anarchy and violent killing by the Kwankwaso foot soldiers. The Kwankwasiyya group has equally commissioned some individuals which we have identified to cause violence in Abuja and other parts of the country in the next few days.”
In their requests, the group noted: “Without reservation, we call on the Director General DSS to immediately invite Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for interrogation before Kwankwasiyya set the country on fire.
With his position as a former governor, former minister of Defence and Senator, he has the capacity to cause violence and he is bent on doing so.”
“Since the eve of the tribunal judgement of Kano State governorship election petition, the judicial workers especially judges have been the target of the Kwankwaso foot soldiers for elimination.
“The Kwankwaso-led Kwankwasiyya movement immediately lunched anti judiciary campaign where they discredit the judiciary and call the judges unprintable names, all in a bid to intimidate the Justices of the Appeal Court and subvert justice.
“The courageous judiciary in the face of obvious threat to life again delivered judgment on it merit when it upheld the judgment of the Tribunal declaring Nasir Gawuna of the All-Progressives Congress, (APC) as the duly elected Governor of Kano State.
“Since then, Kwankwaso has vowed to make Nigeria ungovernable if the decision of the Appeal Court is not reversed. We have enough intelligence that Kwankwaso has released his private army (the Kwankwasiyya) to unleash terror on Nigerians living in Kano State especially none indigenes.
“This action has started already with pockets of protest by few rioters in the guise of protesting the Appeal Court Judgment which confirms the sacking of Abba Kabir Yusuf as Governor of Kano State.
“Kwankwaso is aware that if you disagree with a judgement of a court, the best way is to appeal to a higher court. The NNPP have already appealed the judgment to the Supreme Court, yet the attacks on the judiciary, the image and persons of the Justices of both the Tribunal and the Appeal Court is a daily routine of the Kwankwaso sponsored extremists.
“The main target is to discredit the image and administration of President Bola Tinubu and term him incompetent to govern the country,” they alleged.
