Supporters of former Kano State Governor, Rabi'u
Musa Kwankwaso, under the auspices of Kwankwasiyya Youth Wing, at the weekend called on
the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to investigate the state Governor,
Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, over allegation of corruption.
The members of the group, who are of the opposition
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), also called on the Independent Corrupt
Practices Commission (ICPC) to urgently wade into the matter to thoroughly
investigate the allegation and act according to the law.
In a press conference to mark the 60th birthday of
Kwankwaso in Kano on Sunday, the group condemned the allegation, and urged the
two anti-graft bodies to as a matter of urgency, embark on a transparent
investigation.
It maintained that the investigation over the
matter of corruption would uplift the status of the administration of President
Muhammadu Buhari that holds anti-corruption war as its cardinal principle.
The Kwankwasiyya stalwarts also restated the
commitment of Kwankwaso, a senator representing Kano Central, to support PDP
and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the 2019 general election.
According to the Chairman of the group, Kabiru
Getso Haruna, "As a culture of Kwankwasiyya disciples, we normally gather
every year on a day like this to commemorate the birthday of our leader, not
only because of the positions of authority he has held in this country, but
because of the unique qualities he possesses.
"He has touched the lives of his subjects. His
exceptional and consistent focus on the advancement of the masses has continued
to endear us to his ideals."
