Alleged looting of sensitive document in corruption case against me baseless – Ganduje

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Dr Abdulahi Ganduje has described the allegations that protesters looted and absconded with ‘sensitive documents’ relating to his corruption trial as baseless and comical.The former Governor of Kano State in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu on Thursday said credible intelligence reports revealed that the protest, which tragically turned bloody, was directly sponsored by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s administration.He said contrary to the claim by the Kano government suggesting that APC sponsored the recent violent protests in Kano, rather it was the Kano State government that funded the protest to tarnish the image of President Bola Tinubu-led administration.The chairman stressed that it was alarming that a sitting governor would incite such chaos and violence within his state, putting the lives and properties of innocent citizens at risk.Ganduje, therefore, condemned this reckless and irresponsible behaviour, which he said was an attempt to destabilize Kano, undermine the peace and security of the region, and more importantly tarnish the good image of the President.He demanded that the federal government, through relevant security agencies, immediately launch a thorough investigation into the Kano State Government’s involvement in this unfortunate incident.Ganduje maintained that the sponsors of this violence must be brought to justice to ensure that this does not set a dangerous precedent for other states.He noted: “It is laughable that governance has been reduced to a huge joke in Kano state that the state government will condescend low to suggesting that demonstrators broke into a court and carefully selected documents relating to the trial of the APC National Chairman, handpicked them and take them away in this digital age, no discerning mind will buy into this pedestrian propaganda.“What happened to the documents with the government lawyers? The state government is bereft of ideas on how to run the affairs of the state and has always resorted to churning out myriads of corruption allegations against the former governor of the state Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and his family who served the state diligently.“This claim is nothing more than a desperate attempt by Governor Yusuf’s administration to divert attention from their culpability in the violence that erupted in the state.“The insinuation that such critical documents could be carted away during a protest is not only far-fetched but also a clear indication of the state’s growing incompetence in handling both security and legal matters.”
