Umar Ganduje The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has rebuked Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State to stop using diversionary tactics to cover up for his failure to deliver to the people of the state.
Ganduje, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu described the latest antics of the Governor as an unfortunate and sorry attempt to shift public glare from the fact that there is nothing on the ground in the state to justify the sharp increase in statutory allocations to the state since the inception of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led administration in May 29, 2023.
Ganduje was reacting to the decision of the Kano State Government to file criminal charges against him over alleged bribery of $413,000, and N1.38 billion.
Ganduje said that the latest attempt by the state to drag his name in the mud would fail adding that it spoke volumes of the level of crass ignorance and disregard for the rule of law by the Governor Abba Yusuf-led administration.
"In their desperate attempt to malign me and my family, they either forgot or probably cannot conduct themselves by the dictates of the law," he affirmed.
"They failed to take judicial notice of the recent pronouncement of the Federal High Court in Kano which ruled that the so-called offense I am being accused of is a federal offense that can only be prosecuted by the Attorney General of the Federation and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
"Rather than join issues with my traducers in Kano over the trumped-up charges leveled against me, I would implore them to redirect their energies towards easing the plights of our people in Kano," Ganduje counseled.
"They still have the opportunity to revert to my blueprint for the sustainable growth and development of Kano State. It is not yet late in the day for them to Emulate, Ganduje concluded.
