Kabo LG Chairman Faces APC Petition Over Alleged Victimisation of TMS Members

The Tinubu Maliya Shonikan Organisation (TMS) has petitioned the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State over alleged victimisation and intimidation of some of its members and political appointees in Kabo Local Government Area.

The petition, signed by the TMS Coordinator, Nura Abdullahi Bagwai, Esq., alleged that the Kabo Local Government Chairman, Hon. Lawan Najume Kabo, removed the Secretary to the Local Government, Hon. Abba Salisu Mewake Garo, and other political appointees for participating in the recent TMS launching and inauguration.

According to the organisation, the event, held on August 9, 2026, at the Amani Event Centre in Kano, was a peaceful political mobilisation in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC and the Renewed Hope Agenda.

TMS further alleged that other participants were subjected to intimidation, citing the Vice Chairman of the local government, Hon. Kabiru Durun, and the APC Kabo Local Government Chairman, Hon. Hashimu Sarki, who it said later issued media statements distancing themselves from the organisation after attending the event.

The organisation urged the Kano State APC leadership to investigate the allegations and determine whether the reported actions were consistent with the APC Constitution and principles of internal democracy.

TMS also appealed for protection of its members against alleged victimisation for participating in what it described as lawful political mobilisation in support of the APC and President Tinubu.

The petition was copied to the APC National Chairman and the National Vice Chairman, North-West, with the organisation calling for urgent intervention to prevent further disagreement and promote unity within the party ahead of future elections.
