KANO STATE GOVERNOR, GANDUJE SINKS IN BRIBERY ALLEGATION WATERS; CAUGHT ON TAPE RECEIVING N5 MILLION NAIRA BRIBE
A Nigerian governor Abdullahi Ganduje, has been caught on tape receiving $5 million bribe and security agencies are currently analysing a number of video clips gathered on the governor, daily Nigerian reveals.
Daily Nigerian reported that, multiple contractors who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the governor personally receives from 15 to 25 percent kickbacks for every project executed in the state.
Sources familiar with the situation said two agencies have been asked by President Muhammadu Buhari to file a report and submit to him in earnest.
The report, according to sources, involves analysis on the audiovisual contents of the clips, backgrounds and sequence, and then give recommendations to the president.
Credible sources in the presidency also revealed that the president would act on the report as soon the two agencies submit the report.
“The video was first shown to Mr President on a large TV screen. The president was bitter after watching the clips.
“I believe he will deal with the matter as soon as possible,” the source disclosed.
Plot to remove the governor, who is gunning for his second term on the platform of ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, thickens by the day as the President explores all the options available.
Pundits familiar with the situation say the State House of Assembly will easily bow to the presidency’s request for impeachment upon release of the videos.
It was gathered that the devastated governor is currently planning to suppress the release of the video through various means.
“The governor is in danger. He is still in Abuja searching for a way out. His plan to settle at least 3 people who possess the clip has also failed. The governor is now planning how to hire fake activists and engage in a media war to discountenance the videos,” a source who preferred not to be named told our reporter.
The source also said there is also plan to attack Daily Nigerian publisher, Jaafar Jaafar, for his refusal to trade off the video.
