Probe Your Failures, Not My Family – Ganduje Blasts Yusuf

Engineer Abba Kabir Yusuf, the governor of Kano state, has received a warning to brace up to the business of governance from Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the national chairman of the governing All Progressive Congress (APC).

Former Governor Ganduje advised Governor Yusuf to “stop using diversionary tactics to cover up your failures” before passing the reins to him.

Ganduje chastised Governor Yusuf for his inability to provide the people of Kano state with effective government.

The governor’s recent antics, according to Ganduje, are an unfortunate and sorry attempt to divert attention from the fact that there is actually nothing in the state to support the significant increase in statutory allocations to the state since the beginning of the administration led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on May 29, 2023.

Ganduje’s reaction was contained in a statement released by his chief press secretary, Edwin Olofu.

Ganduje was responding to the Kano State Government’s decision to prosecute him for suspected bribery of N1.38 billion and $413,000 dollars.

“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. [CONTINUE READING HERE]
