Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano state has said that the demolition exercise he embarked upon should not be interpreted as a vendetta.
Yusuf who resumed office on May 29, has ordered the demolition of structures he said were “illegally” built and approved by the former administration of Abdullahi Ganduje. He had also claimed that these public properties were given to some “sacred cows” in the immediate past administration.
In a statement released by his spokesperson, Hisham Habib, Yusuf stated that it is not proper for anyone in power to take public property and convert it for personal use.
He also said that his critics should keep records of his work and judge him after he has finished his tenure.
