Kano governor, Ganduje has corruption cases, EFCC waiting for him to leave office – PACAC
The Executive Secretary of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Sadiq Radda on Thursday revealed that Kano State governor, Alhaji Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has multiple corruption cases.
He stated this at the 16th Anti-corruption Situation Room (ASCR) assessment held in Abuja, saying that he has corruption cases to answer.
While in office the governor was reportedly seen pocketing alledged bribe of about $230,000 dollars he collected from a contractor, an allegation he denied.
Radda said: “The governor has many cases to answer while in office and even more after leaving office.
“You can see in Kano, Ganduje has many cases to answer while in office, he will answer more out of office and sadly for the first time in Nigeria a son is taking his mother to the EFCC.”
Recall, in October 2021 Hafsat, wife of Ganduje, was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The first lady of Kano was arrested following the petition by her son, Abdulazeez Ganduje, who claimed his mother was involved in bribery and fraud.
Abdulazeez specifically accused his mother of receiving bribe and involving herself in a fraudulent deal.
