The Secretary to the Kano State Government, Baffa Bichi, has explained why Governor Abba Kabir-Yusuf ordered the de£molishion of the government house roundabout monument.
The roundabout, which was built by the immediate past government of former Governor Abdulahi Ganduje to honor Kano’s Golden Jubilee, was d£molished on Tuesday, June 13.
Speaking on Freedom Radio Kano, the SSG said: “The roundabout is obstructing the view of motorists, and secondly, if you use a drone camera, you will see that the roundabout has large design of a cross on top of it.
And over 9.99 or 100 percent of Kano indigenes are Muslims. So you can’t have a structure with a large inscription of the cross on it. It’s against Islamic values.
Our clerics told us that whenever our beloved Prophet Muhammad saw anything, no matter how little, with a sign of cross on it, he would ensure that such a thing is d£§troyed.
So any picture of Kano you snap, you would see a large sign of the cross on it, even the Muhammadu Buhari underpass in Hotoro has a similar design, and I can assure you that plans are underway to make sure those symbols are removed from the bridge.”
