Growing political insults in curb: the activist tells Kano Hisbah

A activist and social journalist in Kano, Anas Idiris Hassan, has asked the Hisbah Board of the state of Kano and Islamic academics who intervene and put an end to the growing tendency of political insults and immoral language in the political panorama of the State .

Expressing his concerns during an informative media session in Kano, Hassan declared that the current level of verbal attacks and lack of respect in politics has never been so intense.

“We have never witnessed such a period of political insults and murders as we are seeing now, and the situation is even worse in Kano,” he lamented.

He urged Islamic academics to take a position condemning this behavior in their sermons and teachings, emphasizing that their intervention could help reduce or even stop practice.

“If our religious scholars denounce this problem openly in their pulpit and during the Islamic conferences, these politicians who focus on attacking each other will probably reduce or even stop their actions,” he said.

Hassan also asked Kano Hisbah’s board, directed by Malam Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, to take decisive measures against politicians who are tarnishing Kano’s reputation in the eyes of the world.

“What we fear most is that God can punish Kano’s people due to the actions of some reckless people among us,” he warned.

Hassan strongly condemned the use of social media platforms to disseminate insults and promote immoral acts, particularly in a religious city like Kano.

“It is a serious sin to use social networks to throw insults to each other and normalize homosexuality in a place like Kano,” he said. Wa Iyazubillah! Such words and actions should never come from the language of a Muslim. “

He also warned that if urgent measures are not taken to curb the reckless behavior of some politicians in Kano, they will continue to damage the reputation of the State, which is known for its Islamic academics and erect citizens.

He advised politicians to carry out their activities responsible, warning that if political rivalries continue to involve accusations of homosexuality, fornication, prostitution and insults aimed at parents, divine punishment can be inevitable.

“Let them practice their policy, but it is about attacking each other with words such as homosexuality, fornication, prostitution and curse people’s parents, then they must wait and see the wrath of God unless they repent,” he warned.

Hassan urged the Board of Kano Hisbah, to the Kano Academics Council and the Islamic clergy to publicly adopt a position against the offensive language that is exchanged between politicians on social networks.

The political conflict, which began at the end of January 2025, has seen members of the Kwankwasiyya and Gandujiyya camps exchanging accusations, particularly using the term homosexuality to defame with each other.

Hassan expressed a deep concern that if they are not controlled, young people and children can begin to see such behavior as normal, even more social social values.
