”We would recover govt property Ganduje sold to his son”- Abba Yusuf

By Abdul Isah

The Kano State incoming government of Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf has vowed to explore all legal means to recover  public properties allegedly sold by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to members of his family.

Speaking to newsmen in Kano on Wednesday, the Chairman of the Recovery of Public Assets Subcommittee of the NNPP Gubernatorial Transition Council, Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, said the Kano State Public Procurement Bureau office popularly called Due Process Office located at State Road was allegedly sold to Governor Ganduje’s son,  Abba, at a ridiculous price of less than N10 million.

SOLACEBASE reports that Bichi said, ”We are deeply worried, the manner in which the outgoing administration is mortgaging the common patrimony of the good people of Kano State leaves much to be desired”.

The act, Bichi said, ”Is akin to vandalism” of every structure of governance, adding that this is not what is expected of a government that was given the opportunity to rule the state for eight years.

”This place (Due Process Office) was sold for less than N10 million and we are aware that the boy has sold it for over N300 million. You are literally giving him the place free of charge and asking him to go and get a buyer.

”We feel that this is the most unfortunate destruction of public property that anybody could ever imagine,” Bichi said.

What they are doing, he said, is just a drama. The real game is going to start from May 29.
