Nigerians seek Ganduje’s resignation over fresh ‘bribery video’

Governor unveils empowerment scheme for youths

NIGERIANS have intensified calls for the resignation of Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje following the emergence of a fresh video where he was allegedly collecting bribe from a contractor.

The two minutes, twenty seconds footage dated January 18, 2017 and posted online yesterday, exposed the contractors, projects and voice of the purported bribe giver with the governor who was dressed in a black kaftan.

This came barely a month after two similar videos were uploaded on an online news platform where the governor was shown collecting bribes in dollars and stuffing the cash into his white babariga, but he had denied the allegation, saying the videos were photo shopped.

Consequently Nigerians are calling for Gaduje’s impeachment or resignation even as they charged the Kano State House of Assembly, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate the governor to serve as a deterrent to others.

Biola Kazeem said the videos showing the governor collecting bribes on different occasions may dent the All Progressive Congress (APC) crusade against corruption.

Adeyanju Deji in his twitter handle @adeyanjudeji, said President Buhari should order a quick trial and prosecution of the governor if his anti corruption fight is not a mere lip service.

Adamu Garba in his verified account @adamugarba, said, “The shameful video of Ganduje again. I used to respect him and believed that he has a genuine desire for the people.

“Unfortunately, the evidence against him is so great that the only option left is taking the path of honor and respectfully resign. I feel betrayed”

In his twitter handle @Sksolakuti, Babasola Kuti said, “More evidence of Ganduje’s Greed aka dollar collection operations. EFCC is in a coma till 2019 on this issue.
