A former Governor of Kano State, Rab’iu Kwankwaso, has
explained why he could not expose corruption in the Niger Delta Development
Commission, NDDC, in 2010.
The former lawmaker also said he resigned from the
Commission’s board in 2010 due to the rampant corrupt practices in many
government agencies.
Appearing on BBC Hausa on Saturday, Kwankwaso blamed the
leadership of these agencies for the corrupt practices.
Asked why he did not expose the corrupt practices in the
commission, Kwankwaso, said, the “corrupt practices there were unprecedented,”
adding “that he didn’t want to take part in. ”
He said it “was due to greed and desperate moves by
government officials to accumulate wealth”.
He further denied allegations of corruption made against
him, saying, “I hate corruption.
“Many times people who sabotage the economy through
stealing, nothing is done to them and they end up being with (in) the
government.
“All these happenings in the NDDC is because the leaders are
not vigilant enough.”
