EFCC not investigating me, says Kwankwaso
Former Defence Minister, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso on Tuesday refuted report that he is being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over N35bn arms contract.
It could be recalled that Media reports indicated on Monday that former Chief of Staff to former president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, Chief Mike Oghiadomhe, and two former defence ministers, Alhaji Musa Kwankwaso and Prince Adetokunbo Kayode, are being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over their alleged involvement in the N35 billion contracts for procurement of arms.
The statement read, “The allegation that Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso and his aides Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Abba Yusuf are being investigated for fraudulent contract awards in the Federal Ministry of Defense is both mischievous and untrue. One of the media outlets even alleged that Abba Yusuf and Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje have collected 30 million and 50 million naira respectively. This is also untrue.
“Kwankwaso resigned from that position in November 2006 to free himself to contest for the governorship ticket of the PDP in Kano State. In fact, the only position he was holding at that time was representing the Northwest region on the Board of Niger Delta Development Commission ,’’ the statement said.
