The Kano State House of Assembly has urged the Kano State Government, as a matter of urgency, to intervene in response to moves by the United States of America to sanction the leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, over allegations of anti-Christian positions.
Legislators in the United States of America reportedly described Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso as anti-Christian, including allegations of terrorism financing, and proposed freezing his assets and bank accounts.
The Assembly’s resolution followed a motion presented during plenary by the member representing Kiru Constituency, Usman Tasiu, at a session presided over by the Speaker, Jibril Ismail Falgore.
In the motion, Senator Kwankwaso was described as a dedicated public servant whose administration had significantly impacted the lives of Kano residents.
Tasiu highlighted Kwankwaso’s record in promoting peace, supporting education and driving infrastructural development for both Christians and Muslims.
He emphasised that Kwankwaso had consistently acted as a unifying figure, mediating conflicts between the northern and southern regions of Nigeria, and had maintained a firm stance against terrorism throughout his tenure.
After deliberation, the House unanimously adopted the motion, urging the Kano State Government to take appropriate steps in response to the US allegations.
Similarly, the Assembly approved motions calling on the state government to construct roads in several local government areas, including Tarauni, Madobi, Garun Malam and Madobi Rijin Gishiri.
The motions were presented by Kabiru Dahiru (Tarauni), Sulaiman Ishaq (Madobi), Deputy Speaker Muhammad Bello, and Zakariyya Alhassan (Kura/Garun Malam).
