Recent rumours surrounding the potential appointment of former Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, to a ministerial position or the chairmanship of the ruling All Progressives Congress , have triggered a wave of discontent among Nigerians, especially on social media. The public’s displeasure is compounded by the haunting memory of a video from 2017, which shows Ganduje allegedly accepting bribes in dollars.
The 2017 scandal, which involved a series of video clips released by an investigative journalist, shows Ganduje accepting wads of dollars from an unknown source. The damning footage shocked the nation, raising questions about the commitment to fighting corruption within Nigeria’s political establishment.
On social media, countless tweets have been posted expressing strong dissent towards the rumoured appointment. Users are calling for transparency and accountability in the selection of public officials, insisting that those with questionable pasts should not be entrusted with key government roles. Another tweet read, “Ganduje as the APC chairman? Seriously? We need leaders who inspire trust, not those embroiled in corruption allegations. This is disheartening.”
