Kano Govt Comdemns APC's Plan for Shadow Govt, Describes it as Illegal and Political Desperation

Image
The recent statement credited to the National Chairman of the APC Patriotic Volunteers, Alhaji Usman Alhaji, announcing the group’s intention to form a shadow government in Kano State, is not only a desperate and politically motivated scheme but also a dangerous move with serious social and legal implications for the entire state and Nigeria’s democratic system.

A shadow government, as practiced in the United Kingdom, exists within a parliamentary system where opposition parties appoint "shadow ministers" to scrutinize the ruling government. However, Nigeria operates a presidential system, which neither recognizes nor supports such a structure outside the institutional framework of the law. Democracy does not permit anyone to lose their sense of judgment simply because they have lost relevance w...
