Hussaini Kafi in Kano
Tensions escalated in Kano as residents voiced their anger over the detention of minors during recent protests against government mismanagement.
Several speakers addressed the community, targeting both Northern elders and the Northern Elders Forum for their perceived neglect of the region’s plight.
In a passionate speech, local resident Fatima Abubakar stated, “The silence of our elders is deafening. They have turned a blind eye to the suffering of our children and the corruption that plagues our region. We demand accountability!”
Dan Iyaj, known as Prince and a former supporter of Senator Barau I Jibrin, expressed his disillusionment with the political leadership. “Today, I announce my resignation from supporting Tinubu’s campaign,” he declared. “From this day forward, I will have nothing to do with Tinubu. I won’t forgive him forever, and insha Allah, in 2027, we will show him the true consequence of his actions.”
Another resident, Mohammed Usman, joined the chorus of condemnation, asserting, “The neglect by our leaders is unacceptable. We will not remain silent while our future is stolen. It is time for us to rise and demand justice for our children!”
Finally, community activist Aisha Bello urged collective action, saying, “We must unite against this injustice. Our children deserve better than what they have been given. We will continue to fight until they are released and our voices are heard!”
As the movement grows, residents remain steadfast in their demands for change and accountability from their leaders.
