Muhammad Garba, spokesman for former National Chairman of
the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, has dismissed
allegations of corruption against his principal, describing them as politically
motivated.
Garba, a former Kano State Commissioner for Information, in
a statement on Monday, said Ganduje governed the state with accountability,
transparency and left lasting legacies during his eight years in office.
He accused the Kano State Government of making deliberate
attempts to link Ganduje to financial mismanagement, land grabbing, and
overspending through the Protocol Directorate, insisting the claims were false.
“Governor Ganduje’s record reflects decades of service to
Kano State. These narratives are acts of misinformation aimed at distracting
the public from real governance issues,” Garba said.
He stressed that all activities carried out by the
directorate were administrative, lawful, and within state-approved budgets,
adding that suggestions to the contrary were distortions.
The former commissioner further maintained that Ganduje
prioritised development and responsible management of state resources, pointing
to enduring programmes and projects left behind by his administration.
Garba urged the public, media, and political actors to
refrain from using Ganduje’s name for propaganda or political attacks.
“If there are genuine concerns, there are proper legal
channels to address them. Dragging a former leader’s name into these narratives
is unjust,” he added.
