The Kano State All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked the
immediate past governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, to disregard the
invitation extended to him by the state’s Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption
Commission (PCACC) regarding the alleged dollar video.
According to the party, the recent revisiting of the case,
which is already before a court of law, appears to be politically motivated and
aimed at tarnishing the image of the former governor.
In a statement jointly signed by Abdullahi Abbas, the
chairman of the party, and Zakari Sarina, the secretary, the APC revealed that
the current campaign of calumny is intended to create a rift between President
Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Ganduje, who is known as one of the president’s strongest
allies in the north.
It further explained that a similar scenario was played to
scuttle the former governor’s chance of securing the ticket for the party’s
gubernatorial election in 2019.
The APC affirmed that Ganduje’s significant contributions to
the Tinubu political project, particularly during the primary election, are
widely recognised, and his relationship with the president remains cordial.
