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.
