I have withdrawn my support for APC aspirants – ‘Tinubu Must Go’ coordinator Hikima

Human rights advocate and leader of the Tinubu Must Go movement, Abba Hikima, has announced the end of his support for certain All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates. In a statement posted on his Facebook page, Hikima explained that his decision was based on the aspirants' apparent approval of public oppression and their backing of oppressive leaders.

The activist made this announcement after witnessing the happiness some of the candidates expressed over the mistreatment of citizens and their support for oppressors. Hikima emphasized that individuals who support leaders accused of oppressing the public should bear responsibility for their actions, stating that such supporters are oppressors and enemies.

Previously, Hikima had expressed support for Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, an APC member, which drew attention to the movement's stance on political issues. However, his recent withdrawal of support for some APC aspirants marks a change in his position, though he did not specify which candidates were affected. The announcement comes amidst a dispute between the Tinubu Must Go movement and the Kano State Police Command over a planned event in Kano.

The movement accused the police of obstructing their gathering, while the police denied the claim, stating that their presence was to ensure security for event participants.
