Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of
Kano state, says his blood pressure is normal despite alleged blackmail by his
“antagonists”.
He said this on Tuesday at the
Shiekh Jidda General Hospital in Kano.
Amid an investigation of alleged
bribery, the medical personnel at the hospital were said to have certified
Ganduje’s blood pressure as within normal range.
On Monday, the Kano state house
of assembly set up a panel to investigate the bribery allegation against the
governor, following videos published by Daily Nigerian, an online newspaper.
In the videos, Ganduje appeared
to be collecting bundles of dollars as alleged kickbacks from contractors.
After the health check, the
governor took a swipe at “political antagonists aiming to smear his image”
saying their “blackmail is ineffective”.
He added: “This shows that the
blackmail is not effective, it has failed, it is a deception and it is
fictions.”
Ganduje was at the hospital to
commission the Bello Umar Dikko Accident and Emergency ward constructed by the
state government.
He said the accident and
emergency ward was constructed and fully equipped to further standardise
operations of the hospital which is the first public health facility in the
state.
The governor urged the management
of the hospital to ensure efficient management of the new 20-bed ward so that
the teeming population within its catchment area can take maximum advantage of
its services.
