In a statement issued on Tuesday by its spokesperson, Dr. Habib Mai Lemo, the movement emphasized that local residents should not be deprived of vital development projects due to political differences.

Key points from the statement include:

• Suspended Infrastructure: The movement questioned why the Kano State Ministry of Works appears to target and heavily scrutinize projects facilitated by opposition lawmakers, challenging the state to prove that uniform standards are being applied to all constituency projects regardless of political affiliation.

• Targeted Council Suspensions: Kwankwasiyya also raised alarms over the suspension of three councillors in the Kano Municipal Local Government Area—who have disputed project-related claims against them—as well as two councillors from Tarauni Local Government Area.

• Political Intimidation: The movement alleged that the council suspensions are politically motivated penalties designed to punish local officials for refusing to defect to the ruling camp, warning that such actions threaten fundamental democratic principles.

African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain and Ovation Magazine publisher, Dele Momodu, has shared how he narrowly avoided detention by Special Forces at London’s Heathrow Airport after being caught with 18 old phones.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking in a viral video while interacting with young Nigerians, Momodu explained that the incident occurred while he was traveling to South Africa. Security operatives flagged him over the devices and called in Special Forces, placing the phones in a tray as they interrogated him about his profession.

When asked to prove his identity as a journalist, Momodu utilized his media network and name-dropping strategy. He presented his iPad and displayed contacts and interactions with prominent global figures, including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and former U.S. President Bill Clinton.

Although he was initially transferred to Customs officials who argued that 18 phones constituted a commercial quantity, Momodu maintained that the devices were old. By referencing his high-profile connections—noting that the British monarch is the head of UK Customs—he was eventually cleared, narrowly avoiding missing his flight.
