Senator representing Kano Central, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari is misinformed to have said that he (Kwankwaso) diverted state funds for his presidential campaign, and that Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, completed the projects he abandoned, saying it’s not true.

According to Kwankwaso, "The president was misinformed. He has no idea about what is going on in Kano.


"There is no project left behind by me that was completed by Ganduje. What he completed are the former Governor Ibrahim Shekarau's uncompleted projects, not mine.


"I instructed my supporters not to react to that as there was no need because those informing the president lied to him."

The senator stated this when spoke in a two-hour live programme on Aminchi FM radio in Kano last Monday night while reacting to numerous issues he had been silent about.

He explained that he is one of those who have regards for President Buhari, and does not think it is proper for those around him to be concocting lies to him especially in an international arena in France.

The Kano Central senator further explained that the projects being referred to as abandoned were in the health sector initiated and left behind by Shekarau who has now joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Concerning the video clips showing the state Governor, Ganduje, allegedly collecting bribe from contractors, Kwankwaso said he was aware of the clips before they were released to the public, and pleaded for them not to be released, but they didn't listen to his plea.

He said he is not happy that such video clips were made public because it is an embarrassment to the state and its people including himself.

Kwankwaso reiterated his reason for anointing Abba Kabiru Yusuf to contest on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano, insisting that he (Yusuf) is the most qualified.

The senator explained that Yusuf was part of the initiators and executors of all the major infrastructural development projects in the state under him as the governor while he (Yusuf) was the state Works Commissioner.
