A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and son of former Kano state Governor, Farouk Sabo Bakin-Zuwo has advised the security agencies in Kano to bar the Presidential and Governorship candidates of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and Engineer Abba Kabir Yusuf from moving thugs into Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport.
Recall that on Sunday night the wife of the director-general of the State Security Service, Aisha Yusuf Bichi, allegedly ordered the arrest of the Kano governorship candidate of the NNPP, Abba Yusuf, and barred him from boarding a Max Air flight from Kano to Abuja following the attitude of his thugs at the airport.

Bakin-Zuwo stressed that the airport is a security concerned setting, asserting that a slight derail can result in a security breach that can taint the good image of the state and nation at large in front of international communities
In a statement issued to newsmen on Monday, Bakin-Zuwo said the advice was necessary so as to prevent unhealthy confrontation with men and officers working at the airport.
“Thugs don’t have regard for established protocols and as such can easily break it.
Bakin-Zuwo noted that, by extension, innocent travelers will be highly scared to run activities at the airport due to the presence of the thugs.

Zuwo said the rude attitude exhibited by thugs of the NNPP Governorship candidate to the wife of the Director General of DSS on Sunday at the airport was an indication of intimidation planned by Kwankwaso’s loyalists to government officials and security officials.
He recalled many scenarios that involved Kwankwaso supporters intimidating top government officials at the Airport in Kano including the minister of the digital economy, Prof. Isa Pantami, former governor of Jigawa State Alhaji Sule Lamido and Governor Abdullahi Ganduje among others
According to him, security personnel need to immediately commence a probe into this unpleasant situation planned by the supporters of the NNPP Presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.
He said those involved in Kwankwasiyya manhandling at the airport were innocent citizens of the country and security agencies need to take action to avoid its repeat.

Bakin-Zuwo pulled the curtain by reiterating the need for security agencies to bar the attitude of the NNPP, warning that at these trying times when a party is to pull its citizens closer and show them love, but otherwise is the case.
“Intimidation and scarring of citizens will further discredit a party in the eyes of voters rather than uplift it,” he said.
