A political organisation loyal to ex-Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State has lodged a petition with the Chinese Government and China Development Bank, seeking the stoppage of €684m loan request by
the Kano State Government for the Light Rail Project.
When contacted, the Kano State Commissioner for Information and former National President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Garba Mohammed, said he would get the details of the petition before responding.The organisation under the aegis of Kwankwasiyya Movement said such a loan would plunge the state into further indebtedness and mortgage the future of the present and incoming generations, whose lives were already threatened by immense poverty.
He said, “The Chinese Development Bank has been contacted via a petition in respect of the illegality and crass procedural violations by the state government; both the executive and the legislature. The attention of the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria has been drawn to the risks of the proposed transaction with Ganduje.
