Habeeb Saleh Mohammed, the spokesperson of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, said the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano is synonymous with thuggery.
He made the comments Friday in an interview on Arise TV, during which he also accused the ruling party of being out of touch with the realities facing Nigerians, particularly the poor.
He said the ideology of the Kwankwasiyya exists to counter such practices.
“What APC represents in Kano state is that they represent thuggery. “They represent most of so many things that are right in harm’s way to the masses, to people that are downtrodden, which our ideology seeks to protest,” he said.
He also levelled his criticism at the national level.
He said the policies of the APC-led federal government are not properly planned or considered for the well-being of the citizens.
“Even at the national level, we can see from the policies rolled out by APC, the commander-in-chief, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, does not have an inch of feeling as to what happens when he rolls out policies,” he said.
He further alleged that the government brings in policies without proper assessment on how it will affect the Nigerians.
“They’ve never had an opportunity to do what’s called policy risk assessment,” he said.
He accused the party of treating Nigeria as its own and forcing citizens to accept its decisions.
“These are the people that feel they own Nigeria, whatever they throw out, you must accept it,” he said.
“The Kwankwasiyya Movement feels it cannot work with the APC in any condition,” he said.
The spokesman said Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has his own baggages, which pushed him to the APC, but that there will be a time for more revelations on political decisions.
“We have found home in our relationship with Peter Obi… the years in between have helped us to understand ourselves,” he said.
The comments come after the Kano State Director of Media, Sanusi Bature accused Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of working for President Bola Tinubu.
