Kwankwaso’s camp reacts to his probe by Ganduje over alleged corruption,
diversion of govt fundsPublished on January 10, 2019 By Chijioke Jannah

The Kwankwasiyya Movement in Kano has reacted to the probe of
its leader and former governor of the state, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,
by his successor and incumbent governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje over
alleged diversion of funds for a multi-million naira 5km road project
during his tenure.

Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam, a prominent member
of the group and commissioner when Kwankwaso was governor, said the
allegation raised by Ganduje was nothing “but a new amusing topic to
divert people’s attention.”

Ganduje while inaugurating 12
campaign committees for his second term bid, had said his administration
had taken the matter to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC), vowing to further expose and ridicule his predecessor.

In
a swift reaction, Abdulsalam who is the running mate to the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, gubernatorial candidate, Engineer Abba Kabir
Yusuf, confirmed to newsmen yesterday in Kano that the contract was
conceived and awarded under Kwankwaso’s regime.

He, however, said it was awarded from Ganduje’s office when he was the deputy governor and commissioner for local government.

“Let him tell the public how the contract was awarded, what happened to it and who the contractors are. The 5km road project was not the case investigated by the EFCC and is not Ganduje that took the case to EFCC. The EFCC has finished that case,” he said.
