Kano: ‘Provide evidence of fund diversion’ – NDC guber candidate, Gwarzo challenges Gov Yusuf

The governorship candidate for the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, in Kano State and former Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has called on the Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf to present solid evidence to back his claims that funds were diverted from local government councils via his (Gwarzo) son, Mujahid Aminu Abdussalam.

Gwarzo’s remarks came in response to statements made by the spokesperson for Governor Yusuf, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa that funds from local government councils were funneled to the former deputy governor through his son.

In a statement released on Thursday by his spokesperson, Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu, Comrade Gwarzo characterized the allegations as unfounded, outrageous, and a completely absurd effort to damage his well-established integrity throughout his public service.

“These allegations are simply products of the Governor’s imagination and lack any factual basis. We therefore firmly challenge the accuser to present credible and verifiable evidence to support these malicious claims. Mere accusations, regardless of how frequently they are repeated in the media, do not constitute proof,” the statement continued.

The NDC governorship candidate asserted that throughout his career in public service, he has adhered to the principles of transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.

He expressed his belief that the truth will eventually come to light and urged the public to dismiss what he termed as baseless allegations.
