Ahmad Sorondinki in Kano

A Kano-based civil society organisation known as Movement Against Corruption in Nigeria (MACIN) has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to not allow former government of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to use the president and sabotage investigation on the former governor’s corruption charges.

Speaking during a press conference in Kano, yesterday, the coordinator of the programme, Kabiru Dakata, said Tinubu should distance his cabinet from people like Ganduje so that the international community would not tag Nigeria as fantastically corrupt country.

He tasked the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol), the Nigerian Immigration Service, and all other relevant agencies to keep the former Kano Governor under watch so as not escape from the country before the investigation. “ The delay tactics he is using will indicate that he is indirectly admitting the allegations that he collected $5 million bribe but does not want to be investigated.

“Hiding under the image of the brand new administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President and Commander in Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Ganduje’s political associates have started bragging that they are the owners of the Presidency and nobody can investigate Ganduje” he said.

“Using delay tactics in court to stop inviting, arresting or investigating him on the allegations. To actualize this, he already obtained a court order, stopping the Kano Anti-Corruption Commission, DSS and Police from arresting or investigate him.” Dakata concluded.
