Kano State Government says its attention has been drawn to an alleged malicious report by an online media platform, alleging that the Governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje was involved in an inappropriate conduct after foot dragging by the online media to give clarity to the allegation with a clear view to blackmail and extort the Governor.
A statement by the Commissioner for Information, Youth & Culture, Muhammad Garba said the blackmail did not come as a surprise to the government and good people of the state particularly at a time when 2019 general elections is fast approaching.
The statement said Kano being the stronghold of the APC and expected to produce the highest votes in the upcoming general elections is a target of campaign of calumny.
It is also not surprising that the stuff is published by one who has for long been working for the opposition and an antagonist of the APC government in Nigeria.
“We wish to state that there is no iota of truth to these allegations and if indeed there is any such alleged video, it is at best cloned. More so, in this era of technological advancements, some evil minded people often take advantage to blackmail , extort and assassinate the character of people that do not ” patronize them”, said the statement.
“It will be recalled that just recently, the Inspector General of Police, the Emir of Kano, Governor of Adamawa and many others were ridiculed when their cloned videos and pictures went viral respectively. It is surprising that the same editor of the online medium making the baseless allegations against the Governor was the one who came out to defend the Emir, arguing that the video was cloned. Indeed it was.”
To further prove that the online media is bent on discrediting, blackmailing and assassinating the character of the Governor, the online media has yet to reveal the identity of the giver of the bribe, who is also supposed to be a culprit in the eye of the law. We are therefore calling on the general public to be vigilant as we heard from good authority that many of such cloned videos involving highly placed persons considered as obstacle to the opposition agenda ahead of 2019 will be released in peace meal.
The government of Kano state is taking this matter seriously, and will exploit every appropriate and legal avenue to ensure that it gets to the root of the matter and the perpetrators are brought to book. We also call on the good people of Kano and particularly members of the APC to remain calm and always be law abiding.
Solacebase recalled that DAILY NIGERIAN had reported that security agencies are analysing a number of video clips showing a Nigerian governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, receiving $5 million bribe.
The paper reported that multiple contractors confirmed to it that the governor personally receives from 15 to 25 percent kickbacks for every project executed in the state.
