The chairman of the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti Corruption Commission, PCACC, Muhuyi Rimingado, has vowed to reopen probe into into video clips showing the immediate-past governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje, allegedly receiving a bribe from a contractor.
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that Governor Abba Yusuf on Wednesday reinstated Mr Rimingado after he was suspended from office by Mr Ganduje after opening investigations into contracts allegedly awarded to companies linked to the former governor’s family.
Exclusive video of Kano governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, receiving bribe
The Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has appeared in a trove of video clips receiving bribe from a contractor in the state. Multiple contractors who spoke with DAILY NIGERIAN on the condition of anonymity said the governor personally receives from 15 to 25 percent kickbacks for every project executed in the state.
In October 2018, DAILY NIGERIAN exclusively published videos showing the then governor of Kano State stuffing wads of dollar notes, believed to be kickbacks from contractors, into his pockets.
But speaking during an interview with DCL Hausa on Wednesday, Mr Rimingado said he would investigate the former governor and redouble his effort in the fight against corruption in the state.
“I’m happy that the state government has complied with the court order and asked me to return to office. I’m happy with the kind of goodwill and congratulations trailed my reinstatement. It means people are happy with what we have been able to achieve in the past, and I would make sure we put in our best.
