Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa, a spokesperson to the PDP governorship candidate quoted Yusuf as reacting to the development at an iftar congregation with members of various associations in the state’s transportation sector. He said: “At a time when our major concerns in Kano state were centred around upgrading critical infrastructures such as schools and hospitals to accelerate rapid development, the enemies of the state are determined to create additional liabilities to squander public treasury. “We learnt that Governor Ganduje plans to spend hundreds of million naira to build palaces and purchase royal cars to the newly crowned emirs at the expense of common citizens who barely can’t afford to pay school fees of their children. “We want to clearly draw the attention of the governor that these are misplaced priorities for a state with over three million out of school children, about four million unemployed youth and millions of almajiri roaming our streets to beg for food without a comfortable shelter." He said people of the state were happy that a high court sitting in Kano has declared the creation of new Emirates as null and void, adding that history will repeat itself as soon as he emerges victorious at the election petition tribunal. “Our unity as a people remains of utmost concern; we will not allow our cultural heritage built over a thousand years being destroyed by a mad lion, barking and biting every object that comes his way," he added.
