Some indigenes and residents of Kano state have condemned in totality the demolition of historic Kano government roundabout by governor Abba Yusuf. Governor Abba Yusuf reportedly ordered the demolition in the early hours of Wednesday. The roundabout, known as Kano Golden Jubilee Monument, was erected in the year 2017, to commemorate Kano’s attainment of 50 years as a state.
Reacting to the development, former special adviser to former governor Abdullahi Ganduje, Salihu Tanko Yakasai, said the demolition broke his heart. Yakasai, who described the demolition as heartbreaking, said: “We’ve not seen any plans for a new Kano. We’ve not heard of ways to make Kano greater, all (the governor) has been doing since assuming office is vindictiveness, some justified others not so much. Once you lose the goodwill of Kano, there is no gaining it back, even if you will turn it to Mecca.
