The presidency has reacted to the
viral video of Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, allegedly receiving
bribe amounting to about $5million from contractors in the state.
A sting operation by an online
newspaper that captured the governor on camera was said to have began two years
ago when one of the contractors agreed to plant spy camera on his kaftan while
offering the bribe.
During the about 10-month effort
to capture the bribe giving/taking scenes, the governor’s face and body were
reportedly clearly captured in nine clips, while six others did not clearly reveal
the governor’s face. About $5m dollars were said to be delivered to the
governor in all.
However, the clip stirred
reactions online as some Nigerians described the development as a “shame to the
Buhari led administration,who claim to be fighting corruption.’
But, reacting, the Senior Special
Adviser to the President on Diaspora & Foreign Affairs, Abike Dabiri-Erewa,
said the video was suspicious.
On her Twitter page, she wrote,
“No audio?? Suspicious.”
Responding to a user, who asked
if CCTV had audio? she said, ”You are obviously ignorant. The report said the
person who recorded hid the camera in his cloth, in this political season,
don’t get carried away with anything and everything. Think.”
Diaspora & Foreign Affairs, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, why let him defend himself don't drag the president to dirty water , in your position to defend a governor who is still alive is just like covering a man sand in the grave went he is still alive
