Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has charged the state’s
Public Complaint and Anti Corruption Commission, not to compromise in the fight
against corruption no matter who is involved.
Ganduje gave the charge while on a visit to the commission’s
office in Kano on Saturday.
According to him, the Federal Government cannot alone fight
corruption hence the replication of the anti-graft agency at the state and
local government levels.
He said: “Whosoever falls into the commission’s trap should
face the consequence. I will have nothing to do with it. I will not interfere
with any case whosoever might be involved.
“With the way corruption is fighting back and the fight
against corruption being an agenda of President Muhammad Buhari, the federal
government cannot fight it alone.
“It needs domestication in the states and the local
governments to succeed,” the governor said.
In his address of welcome, the Chairman of the commission,
Muhyi Magaji, commended Ganduje’s determination to fight corruption in the
state.
“It is your will and support that has made this anti-graft
agency among the best in the country.
“We have set benchmarks in the country and are being
emulated by other states,” he said.
The commission recently recovered N310,000 meant for Imams
that participated in a special prayer against COVID-19 and insecurity, from an
aide to the governor.
