Kano, The Kano State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, has disowned 12 groups that backed the potential sacking of Police Commissioner Ibrahim Adamu Bakori over his withdrawal from the 65th Independence Anniversary parade.
Abbas said the groups are not members of the party, adding that their claims about the commissioner’s actions are baseless.
Abbas said that 12 APC groups that backed Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s call for the removal of Police Commissioner Ibrahim Adamu Bakori are not members of the party.
Abbas said the APC supports the commissioner’s decision to withdraw from the 65th Independence Anniversary parade, citing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s directive for a low-key celebration.
He questioned why the governor chose to go ahead with the celebration despite the president’s directive and called for sanctions against other security agencies that participated in the event.
