Governor Ganduje is selling off government properties to family and cronies ? Kano Governor-elect Abba Gida-Gida Committee

Outgoing Kano Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has been accused by a transition committee set up by incoming Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of selling off government properties to his family members and cronies.

The claim was made by Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, chairman of the committee, who led the Recovery of Public Assets Subcommittee for a visit to Kano State Public Procurement Bureau (Due Process Office) on Wednesday, May 10. 

He claimed that they’ve received a credible information that the Due Process Office had been allegedly sold to Abba Ganduje, son of the governor for less than N10m. 

Bichi said; 

“The office which was until this afternoon being actively utilized by staff of the office was sold to the son of the exiting governor of the state and we are deeply worried by the manner at which the outgoing governor is mortgaging the common franchise of the good people of Kano state leaves much to be desired.” 

He added that Ganduje’s action is akin “to vandalism”, adding that his government is “uprooting every structure of governance.”

Bichi added;

“A drama and the real game will start from May 29. This drama they are playing is the last scene and we will recover whatever was stolen, misappropriated and vandalized by this outgoing government and return it to the public.”

He warned developers buying the properties to be wary, adding that all that play any role in the act would be prosecuted when the NNPP government of Abba Kabir Yusuf take over from May 29.
