Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi
Umar Ganduje has said his administration is probing his predecessor, Senator
Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso over multi-billion naira 5 kilometre road projects.
Ganduje, who made this known
yesterday while inaugurating 12 campaign committees for his second term bid,
said Kano State government had taken the matter to the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He explained that the EFCC had
gone far in its investigation into the matter in terms of how the money meant
for the construction of 5 kilometre roads in the 44 local governments of Kano
state were diverted for Kwankwaso’s presidential campaign in 2015.
He said so far, the EFCC was able
to discover how the fund was collected from the 44 local governments and was
changed into dollar.
He said, “I was the deputy
governor when the project was conceived. Ninety per cent of the total sum of
the contract was provided by the 44 local governments while the remaining 10
per cent was provided by the state government.
“However, Kwankwaso collected the
90 per cent from the 44 local government, paid the mobilisation fee and funded
his presidential campaign with the remaining balance. The Kwankwasiyya people
have started campaigning with the 5km road project but I will expose them,”
Ganduje said.
