According to the State Governor, the property which were alleged to have been illegally sold by Governor Ganduje's administration are mostly landed property which surround public places like schools, religious and cultural sites, hospitals and clinics, graveyards and green areas which belong to the state government.
"We have noted that the last administration had sold lands in and around schools, religious and cultural sites, hospitals and clinics, graveyards and green areas, and along the city walls of Kano. We have also noted that they indiscriminately sold numerous other landed properties and assets belonging to the Kano State Government within and outside the State to their cronies and agents," Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf alleged.
