The Kano Government has finally opened the stadium it claimed was closed for renovation, following the outrage and claims of purposely shutting it down to frustrate Atiku Abubakar's rally in the state. 

In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, on Wednesday, the Kano Government said the directive does not affect ”the ongoing overhaul of the indoor sports complex.” The contractor has been directed to remove all its equipment until the end of the rally, and the state’s football team, Kano Pillars, has also been instructed to use the Pillars Stadium, Sabon Gari for training sessions.

President Buhari had used the stadium for his rally few days ago, before it was shut down by the state government who started renovation of the stadium, aimed at giving the stadium a face-lift. It included the installation of the new scoreboard, running track and provision of sources for steady water supply, the government said.

However Kano Government who finally opened the stadium it claimed was closed for renovation, urged PDP leaders to ensure orderliness during the event in order to avert the destruction of facilities at the stadium. The statement made available to Premium Times reads in part; 

“Prior to this development, the PDP had slated February 2 for the rally, which informed government’s decision to mobilise the contractor only for the party to fix another date for the campaign rally when the contractor had already moved to site,” the official explained.

“As a democrat who believes in freedom of association, His Excellency the governor did not order the closure of the stadium to frustrate the campaign rally of the PDP. The stadium only closed for the intended renovation works.’

After initial gra gra that doesn't hold water

Gandollar grand patron of thief

Vendetta is bad and I don't think Atiku is a vindictive man,but I hope if he wins,El Rufai and Ghanduje would be the first 2 persons he would direct EFCC,ICPC and Code of conduct Bureau to investigate. I am sure all 3 bodies would come up with 3 different cases of corruption,stealing of state funds and false declaration of assets against them.
Their prosecution would come immediately because I am sure if Atiku wins,the momentum of his win would definitely cost those 2 criminals their seats a week after.

Interesting. The fear of unknown
