Produce Evidence Of Alleged Fund Diversion, Gwarzo Challenges Kano Govt

The governorship candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kano State and former deputy governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has challenged the governor of Kano State to provide concrete evidence on his allegations that he received funds from local government councils through his son, Mujahid Aminu Abdussalam.

Gwarzo’s response followed allegations by the spokesperson to the governor, Sunusi Bature, that funds from local government councils were channelled to the former deputy governor through his son.

In a statement issued yesterday by his spokesperson, Ibrahim Shuaibu, Comrade Gwarzo described the allegations as baseless, outrageous and a totally ridiculous attempt to tarnish his hard-earned integrity throughout his public service.

“The allegations are mere figments of the Governor’s imagination, lacking any basis. We therefore 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,” the statement added.

The NDC governorship candidate maintained that throughout his public service career, he upheld the principles of transparency, accountability and the rule of law.

He expressed confidence that the truth would ultimately prevail and urged members of the public to disregard what he described as unfounded allegations.
