Gwarzo challenges Kano Govt to produce evidence of alleged LG funds diversion through son
By Ali Baba-Inuwa
Former Deputy Governor of Kano State, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has challenged the State Government to provide concrete evidence to support its claim that he received funds from local government councils through his son, Mujahid Aminu Abdussalam while in office.
Gwarzo, also the state governorship candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) for 2027 General Elections, was reacting to allegations by the spokesperson for Gov. Abba Kabir Yusuf, Malam Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, who reportedly claimed that funds from local government councils were channeled to the former deputy governor through his son.
In a statement issued on Thursday by his spokesperson, Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu, 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,” he added.
The NDC governorship candidate said 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.
