A Coalition of Northern Civil Society Group on the platform of Good Governance and Advocacy Group (GGAG), has warned against a premeditated attempt by the
government of Kano State to ridicule the immediate-past governor of the state, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
The coalition revealed that there was a sinister move by the Kano state government using the apparatus of the state anti-corruption commission to bring the name of Ganduje to disrepute through a politically motivated dialogue it is organising on Wednesday. In a statement released Wednesday in Kano by the Secretary of the Coalition, Muhammed Lawan Shuaibu, the coalition observed that the attempt was aimed at denting the image of the former Chief Executive, who enjoys a good relationship with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to prevent him from securing a deserving political appointment.
It said the dialogue, which was being put in place by the Chairman of the Kano State Public Complaints ànd Anti Corruption Commission , Barrister Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado, was not open to other CSOs but those hand-picked participants from friends and associates of the commission’s Chairman. The coalition described the action of Muhuyi and the state-owned commission “as purely vindictive, malicious, malevolent and politically motivated.”
