Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State on Sunday April 7, 2024, insisted that  his predecessor in office, and the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress  APC, Dr Abdullahi  Ganduje, presided over two unproductive tenures characterised by siphoning of public funds ,inability to cater for the needs of kano populace ,nepotism and bloodshed that left many families in melancholy.

In a terse statement issued and made available to the media by his spokesperson Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa,  the Kano State Governor, reaffirmed his administration’s resolve to subject Ganduje and others suspected of wrong doings to the full weight of the law.

Governor Yusuf said the claim by his predecessor that, going by the ruling of a federal a High Court that he can only be  investigated and prosecuted by Federal authorities is both frivolous and akin to the ” cry of a dying dog”

Governor Yusuf noted that  for anyone to assume that efforts to unravel the issue of corruption charges against Dr Ganduje and members of his immediate family is an attempt to cover up ,clearly means ,such category of people are either under false illusion and or being economical with the truth.

” For what ever option ,the kano state Government would advise the Acting National Chairman of APC to show cause why his name ,that of his family and the entire people of kano should permanently be erased  from the global embarrassment that the dollar video has generated ” the statement stated .

The Kano state Governor ,therefore declared that his administration would leave no stone unturned in pursuing the dollar video scandal to a logical conclusion .

The Governor said to this end, he is calling on the Economic and Financial Crime Commission EFCC to release the forensic report  of the ”  Gandolla video  saga” of 2018 for public consumption.

Governor Yusuf also lamented that his administration inherited liabilities and debts running into over # 500 billion from the immediate past regime ,adding that the mountain of debts was a  fall out of the reckless financial misconducts of his  predecessor in office .

” The immediate past APC Government sold almost all the  state’s  properties and assets to Dr Ganduje and members of his immediate family” Governor Yusuf said

Rationalizing the constitution of the two probe panels, the kano state Governor insisted that it is glaring to all  that Ganduje’s administration was associated with massive corruption ,nepotism,and Intimidation of innocent citizens of kano state.

Governor Yusuf said his administration has commenced the gradual but steady process of returning normalcy, to the state ,after the spate of political thuggery that characterised the immediate past regime,adding that he should avoid attempts to drag the presidency into his corruption case .

” We wish to warn Ganduje ,to stop dragging the name of President Bola Tinubu into his corruption saga, as we believe that our able and well respected president does not interfere with cases before the courts of competent jurisdiction ,just like we witnessed during our trying times at the Supreme Court ,when he allowed justice to prevail for the opposition parties .” Governor stated.
