Bribery allegation: Stop diverting attention from your failure, Ganduje tells Kano gov, Yusuf

• Recall that the Kano State Government on Thursday filed criminal charges against Ganduje over alleged bribery of $413,000 and N1.38 billion.

National chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, says the performance of Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State leaves so much to be desired.

Ganduje, the immediate past governor of the State, said the allegation of bribery levelled against him was part of governor Yusuf’s antics to divert attention away from his failure to deliver to the people of the state.

Recall that the Kano State Government on Thursday filed criminal charges against Ganduje over alleged bribery of $413,000 and N1.38 billion.

Ganduje, in a statement issued by his chief press secretary, Edwin Olofu, said the latest attempt by the state to drag his name in the mud would fail adding that it underscored the level of ignorance and disregard for the rule of law by the Governor Abba Yusuf-led administration.

He stated that there was 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 Tinubu 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.

“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)”
