From Desmond Mgboh, Kano
Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) governorship candidate in Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo, has challenged Governor Abba Yusuf to provide concrete evidence that he received funds from local government councils through his son, Mujahid.
He was responding to allegations by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Dawakin-Tofa, who alleged that funds from local government councils in the state were channelled to the former deputy governor via his son.
In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Ibrahim Shuaibu, Gwarzo dismissed the allegations as baseless, outrageous and a ridiculous attempt to tarnish his hard-earned integrity. The allegations are mere figments of the governor’s imagination, lacking any basis.
“We categorically challenge the accuser to provide credible and verifiable evidence to substantiate these callous claims. Mere accusations, no matter how often repeated in the media, do not amount to proof.” Gwarzo maintained that he upheld transparency, accountability and the rule of law throughout his public service career.
He expressed confidence that “the truth would ultimately prevail” and urged the public to disregard what he called “unfounded allegations.”
