that Kano State governor, Umar Ganduje is a responsible leader despite allegations of the
governor receiving bribes putting his position in question.
The embattled governor has been in the news over the past few weeks after the publisher of
Daily Nigerian, Ja'afar Ja'afar, alleged that he regularly received bribes from contractors
handling projects in the state.
In a series of videos in Ja'afar's possession, the governor was alleged to have received a total of
$5 million in installments from a certain contrator on several occasions. Five different video
clips have gone viral on social media showing the governor accepting bundles of dollar notes
from the yet-to-be-identified contractor.
The president has been notably silent over the issue since it first broke last month, but was
questioned about it while meeting with the Nigerian community in Paris, France on Monday,
November 12, 2018.
According to a report by Channels Television, when one of the participants asked the president
what his government was doing about the allegations, he deflected by praising the governor for
"doing so much".
He said:
"I commend the governor for doing so much. He once invited me and I went to Kano. The good
projects started by Kwankwaso in education and healthcare, Ganduje completed them.
"He completed the projects and now the people of Kano are enjoying the benefit. I think that is
very responsible of him."
President Buhari's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said last week that the
president has no business interfering in the matter in its current state.

@Rex, because no court of law has found him guilty but the video evidence of him taking bribes implicates him

Birds of a feather flock together. So, Fayose is the only corrupt governor in Nigeria. The audio recording against Fayose is taken as absolute truth. But Buhari and his worshippers have "refused" to believe that 5 videos are authentic. Even the admission of the contractor who gave the million of dollars can not convince Buhari and cohorts.
