    Twenty organizations across Kano state have submitted a petition to the Inspector General of Police through the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of zone one Kano, against former secretary to the state government Alhaji Usman Alhaji over a contents of a press statement dated 30th May 2025, issued under the aegis of the APC Patriotic Volunteers.

    The petitioners expressed concern over the content of the statement which they said can instigate violence and disturb public peace.

    Ad 4

    “We, the undersigned concerned citizens and stakeholders of Kano State, write to you with deep concern and a sense of urgency, to formally bring to your attention the contents of a press statement dated 30th May 2025, issued under the aegis of the APC Patriotic Volunteers, and signed by Alhaji Usman Alhaji, former Secretary to the State Government (SSG).

    The petitioners accused Alhaji Usman Alhaji of making provocative statements over the demolition of illegal structures at Filin Idi, Daula hotel premises and Race Course, the Matter which is currently under judicial review.

    “This statement, in our considered opinion, contains incendiary rhetoric and deliberate distortions that pose a grave threat to public peace, civic unity, and the commendable efforts of the Kano State Government to promote mutual understanding, lawful engagement, and the welfare of its people”.

    Ad 3

    The organization specifically pointed out areas where the former SSG deliberately attempted to provoc the citizens as follows.

    1. Deliberate Misrepresentation of the Rimin Zakara Land Dispute

    Alhaji Usman Alhaji’s attempt to incite the residents of Rimin Zakara against the Kano State Government over the long-standing land dispute involving Bayero University Kano (a Federal Government institution) is deeply troubling.

    This dispute, dating back over four decades, is federal in nature, and the Kano State Government has only intervened in a supportive and reconciliatory capacity.

    To suggest otherwise is not only misleading but also undermines the genuine efforts made by the state government, which include:

    The constitution of a neutral investigative committee,
    The payment of compensation to affected individuals, The provision of essential social amenities such as a Primary Health Care Centre, places of worship, and electrification of the community.

    These actions were carried out in good faith to ensure peace and development in the area. Alhaji Usman Alhaji’s narrative twists these facts and risks fueling unnecessary resentment among the populace.

    2. Incitement over Ongoing Legal Matters: The Filin Idi Demolitions,Equally disturbing is his attempt to stoke public unrest over the demolition of illegal structures at Filin Idi, Daula Hotel premises, and Race Course—matters currently under judicial review.

    By making provocative statements on cases sub judice, Alhaji Usman Alhaji not only undermines the integrity of our judiciary but also risks violating court protocols, potentially amounting to contempt of court.

    More alarmingly, his remarks appear to be aimed at sowing division, instigating protest, and destabilizing public order.

    Such conduct is deeply unbecoming of a statesman of his stature and threatens the fragile peace and social fabric of our dear state.

    It is incumbent upon all leaders, especially former public office holders, to uphold values of truth, unity, and responsibility in their public engagements.

    OUR HUMBLE REQUEST
    In light of the above, we respectfully call upon your esteemed office to:

    i.Thoroughly investigate the statement issued by Alhaji Usman Alhaji and the potential consequences of his actions,

    ii.Call Alhaji Usman Alhaji (Wazirin Gaya) and his platform, APC Patriotic Volunteers, to order and impress upon them the importance of desisting from actions and utterances that threaten peace and public order,

    iii.Encourage all political and community leaders to utilize legal and peaceful channels in airing grievances or resolving disputes.

    “We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the peace, unity, and development of Kano State, and appeal to all well-meaning citizens to place public interest and harmony above personal or political considerations”

    “We trust in your office’s commitment to the preservation of law and order and look forward to swift and decisive action in the interest of peace.”

    Note:
    A copy of the press statement is hereby attached .

    Yours faithfully,
