The Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, has demolished the historic roundabout at the Kano State Government House.

The roundabout which was renovated by the past administration of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, was brought down early hours of Wednesday.

In just his first week in office, the governor Yusuf-led administration commenced demolition of some structures in the state built under Ganduje’s tenure which the current government termed illegal structures.

Nigerians are already talking about the demolition online, some are criticizing the governor and others are hailing the governor for his actions.

No atrocity should warrant the demolition of a newly built roundabout, funded by taxpayers money. For God's sake, this roundabout is new. Why demolish it?
He said, 'Where are we going to source the money?' And I'm asking, where will he source the money to rebuild Kano again? https://t.co/7fHnQoSObP

Woke up to this madness by Abba Rusau, this really breaks my heart. What justifiable reason is there to demolish this monument that has become the symbol of Kano? If this is the madness that he intends to oversee as Gov, then Allah wadai da mulkin ka! Mulkin ka ba alheri bane. pic.twitter.com/yObO1ATHcf

This is absolute madness. Why demolish this symbolic roundabout and a national monument because of your self-serving and personal beef with the former governor? @Kyusufabba, you have lost my respect.

We must all condemn this thoughtless decision to demolish this monument, designed by a young female architect to commemorate Kano’s Golden Jubilee.

I support the ongoing demolishing of private buildings in schools, hospitals, mosques, etc but not wanton destruction of public… pic.twitter.com/EZ7DuHu64R
