Extend Your Probe To Kwankwaso’s Administration – Ganduje Fires Back At Gov. Yusuf

The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has fired back at his successor, Governor Abba Yusuf over the latter’s move to probe his immediate past administration as a former governor of Kano state.

Ganduje was reacting to the decision of the Kano State Government to file criminal charges against him, his Wife, Hafsat and son among others over alleged bribery of $413,000 and N1.38bn.

Yusuf had on assumption of office in 2023 accused the former governor of misappropriating public funds and allocating plots of land to some members of his immediate family.

However, Ganduje in his response, advised Kano State to stop using diversionary tactics to cover up for his failure to deliver to the people of the state. He also asked Governor Yusuf to extend his probe to 1999 to date.

Grassroots Parrots reports that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who is an in-law, political godfather and mentor of Governor Yusuf was the governor of Kano State from 1999 to 2003.

Kwankwaso, who lost the seat to Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau in 2003, reclaimed the position in 2011 after the later spent eight consecutive years in office. He, however, governed the state till 2015 before he was succeeded by Ganduje, his former deputy.

“As the saying goes, he who comes to equity must come with clean hands. It shouldn’t be seen as targeted at my administration alone. It should not be seen to be borne out of malice, vindictiveness and ill will. It should be for public good and interest” Ganduje declared.

Ganduje, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu described the latest antics of the Governor as an unfortunate and sorry attempt to shift public  glare from the fact that there is really nothing on the ground in the state to justify the sharp increase in statutory allocations to the state since the inception of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led administration in May 29, 2023.

Ganduje said that the latest attempt by the state to drag his name in the mud would fail adding that it spoke volumes of the level of crass ignorance and disregard for the rule of law by the Governor Abba Yusuf-led administration.

“In their desperate attempt to malign me and my family, they either forgot or probably cannot conduct themselves by the dictates of the law,” he affirmed.

“They failed to take judicial notice of the recent pronouncement of the Federal High Court in Kano which ruled that the so-called offence I am being accused of is a federal offence that can only be prosecuted by the Attorney General of the Federation and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

“Rather than join issues with my traducers in Kano over the trumped-up charges levelled against me, I would implore them to redirect their energies towards easing the plights of our people in Kano” Ganduje counselled.

“They still have the opportunity to revert to my blueprint for the sustainable growth and development of Kano State. It is not yet late in the day for them to emulate my developmental strides. They can still salvage the situation as my tenure was devoid of any wrongdoings.

Ganduje who administered Kano State between 2015 to 2023, also described the decision by the administration to set up two committees to probe him over alleged misappropriation of public property, political violence and missing persons in the state as a welcome development.

“We conducted the affairs of governance in the state openly and transparently during my tenure. We don’t need to be seeking direction from our masters to do what is proper,” he stressed.
