The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano state has urged the former governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje to ignore the invitation extended to him by the state Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC).
Recall that the commission had invited Ganduje over video clips of him allegedly receiving bribes.
The executive chairman of the anti-graft commission, Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado, had revealed that the commission had written a letter to the former governor to appear next week so as to provide necessary information on the ongoing investigation.
Reacting to the development, the APC Chairman in Kano, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas and the secretary of the party, Alhaji Zakari Sarina, accused the government of planning to ridicule Ganduje.
According to them, “We have realised that the reenactment of the politically motivated issue of the Dollar video by the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) which is before a court of law, is part of a sinister ploy to dent the image of the former governor.
“A similar scenario was played to scuttle the former governor’s chance of securing ticket for the party’s gubernatorial election in 2019.
“This time the detractors are engaged in this campaign of calumny to draw a wedge between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Ganduje, one of the president’s strongest allies in the North.”
The APC stated that while Ganduje’s contributions to the Tinubu political project right from the conduct of the primary election, is widely appreciated, his relationship with the President remains cordial.
