Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf has challenged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to hasten the release of the forensic reports on alleged Dollar video clip involving the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Chairman and a former governor of Kano State, Dr Umar Abdullahi Ganduje.
Governor Yusuf insisted that the release of the forensic report will finally silence Ganduje.
This is also as Yusuf stated that Ganduje’s eight-year tenure represented failure and maladministration.
Governor Yusuf, in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, and made available to journalists on Sunday, alleged that Ganduje shamelessly spoke about non-existent failure in the present Kano State government, instead of facing the nemesis of corruption and political violence hanging around his neck.
“Our eight months in office has remarkably outweighed Ganduje’s eight wasted years of political caricature and maladministration by all standards,” Governor Yusuf stated.
He advised Ganduje to rather buckle up in defence of his already battered image at the court, instead of further exposing his impunity on the media space.
He alleged that Ganduje’s penchant for corruption had brought shame and disgrace to the good people of Kano, insisting that no amount of media campaign would hinder the process of bringing him (Ganduje) to book on the glaring cases of corruption filed against him.
The statement further regretted that Ganduje could yet shamelessly muster the courage to defend himself in the media, despite the embarrassing video clip where he was caught, red-handed, stocking his large agbada pockets with dollars.
“We wish to reaffirm the present administration’s resolve and readiness to make anyone found guilty of corruption to face the full wrath of the law for their intentional wrongdoings,” the statement added.
The Kano government emphasized that it would leave no stone unturned to pursue the dollar video scandal to a logical conclusion.
It requested the release of the forensic investigation conducted by the EFCC on the “Gandollar saga” in 2018, for public consumption.
