Calling on journalists to work harder in promoting peace and security in Kano and Nigeria at large, Ganduje said that some external forces want what happened in some other smaller African countries to repeat itself in Nigeria.
“The initial protest was about SARS’ brutality and extrajudicial killings, which were genuine issues and most of us supported it, calling for police reformation.
“But the handwriting on the wall is now clear; enemies of Nigeria sat and decided ‘let us disintegrate this country.’ But God is with us; they did not succeed.
“So, we need to appeal for national cohesion, beginning with the youths. Whoever prays for the disintegration of Nigeria must be a mad person.”
“I call you (journalists) to see how we can promote peace and security in Kano and Nigeria.
“No doubt, external forces are trying to destabilise this country. Some people are acting outside the country to ensure what happened in some smaller African countries happens here. But we must nip it in the bud.
“Let us ensure no one is molested in Kano, in Nigeria, irrespective of his tribe or religion. Those who started it in Kano State were arrested and today, they have repented, confessed and apologised,” Ganduje said.
