Abdullahi Ganduje, the state’s former governor, has been called in for questioning by the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) in relation to a contentious dollar video.
Recall how certain footage of Ganduje reportedly accepting bribes from contractors were published online in 2017? The then-governor had refuted the claim, claiming that the films had been altered.

But on Channels Television’s Lunchtime Politics on Thursday, the Chairman of the Commission, Muhyi Magaji, made the following statement: “I just signed an invitation letter for him (Ganduje) to appear next week because this is what the law says,” he added.
However, the state’s All Progressives Congress (APC) advised Ganduje to ignore the anti-graft commission’s invitation, claiming that the investigation is being conducted for political reasons by the NNPP administration.
The APC Secretary, Zakari Sarina, and the party’s chairman in Kano, Abdulahi Abbas, signed a statement on Thursday saying the matter is in court and there is a “sinister plot to damage the former governor’s reputation.”
One of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s biggest allies in the North, Ganduje, is being pitted against him in a campaign of slander, according to the APC in Kano.
