Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, lawmaker representing Kano central
senatorial district, has shelved his visit to Kano state.
The police had advised him to postpone the visit in order to avoid
an outbreak of violence between his supporters and loyalists of Abdullahi
Ganduje, the governor.
Both Kwankwaso and Ganduje had fixed their rallies for Tuesday.
After the police advice, Kwankwaso had vowed to go ahead with his
trip.
But speaking through Rabi’u Sulaiman Bichi, a former secretary to
the state government, Kwankwaso said the cancellation followed series of
consultations.
“I have shelved my visit to Kano to avoid political clash in the
state following series of advice I have received from well-meaning Nigerians
home and abroad,” he said.
“In view of this and after lengthy consultations with well-meaning
Nigerians home and abroad, we painfully have decided to shelve the scheduled
visit at the moment.”
