Kano State Governor,
Abdullahi Ganduje might be forced to quit his position as Governor following a
call for his resignation by some strong groups.
A Coalition of Civil
Society Organizations of Nigeria, CCSON, has reacted to the viral video of
Ganduje, allegedly receiving bribe amounting to $5million from contractors.
The group has called for
the resignation of the Governor.
A statement signed by the
Director of Programmes, Mr. Pat Anyanwu, and made available to newsmen in
Umuahia, the Abia state capital, asked Ganduje to resign immediately from
office and clear himself of the corruption allegations.
It threatened to embark on
a one-million march in Kano and Abuja to compel the governor to step aside.
The group noted that the
$5million bribe was too embarrassing to be swept under the carpet by the
federal government.
The Coalition urged
President Muhammadu Buhari to wade into the matter now due to its consequences
on his second term ambition.
The statement reads that,
”The so-called anti-corruption crusade of President Muhammadu Buhari and the
travel ban on corrupt persons will not make meaning if Governor Ganduje is
spared.
“There is nothing like
cloning in the video and Ganduje has to prove the cloning theory”.
