He regretted that all the shops being demolished belonged to Kano traders and not foreigners, adding that the shops would have been put to better use if they were taken over by the government and reallocated to the less privileged at reasonably affordable rates.
Your Demolition Unreasonable
A member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Sanusi Balarabe, has berated Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano, over the ongoing demolitions of properties in the State.
Speaking in Hausa in a viral YouTube video, Balarabe described the demolition exercise being carried out by the Yusuf government as unreasonable and uncalled for.
The ardent supporter of the Kwankwasiyya Movement said he and his family did not vote for Governor Yusuf to demolish properties in the state but to provide dividends of democracy to residents.
He said they believed in the Kwankwasiyya movement and voted for the NNPP in the 2023 elections because its leader and former governor of the state, Rabiu Kwankwaso, had performed creditably well while he was in office.
