Barau Jibrin, Senator representing Kano North, has said “agents of darkness” are out to tarnish the image of the state Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, but warned it would not affect his second term bid.

Jibrin said this in reaction to the video of the Governor, allegedly collecting bribe from some contractors.

In a statement on Tuesday, the lawmaker said supporters of a former governor who is not on good terms with Ganduje, were behind the video.

“I have watched with great incredulity videos making the rounds in the social media from an online medium, Daily Nigerian, where technology was put to an ingenious devilish use by some agents of darkness masquerading as anti-corruption crusaders depicting His Excellency, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the Executive Governor of Kano State purportedly receiving bribe in his office.

“It amazes me how low we can go in this country to try to bring people down for very selfish political ends, else how does one explain this outrageous manipulation aimed at no other thing than to rubbish the good name and reputation of a performing Governor so loved by our people.

“Already, Video Tech Analysts have come up with a damning verdict branding the video as Fake owing to the manifest incoherence in the dates and time shown in the video as well as the use of technology to make the set up look real.

“I would not have taken the satanic video clips seriously but for the masquerades behind it, who are rabid supporters of a former Governor of the State who is at loggerheads with His Excellency, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

“The same antics was used to malign and blackmail His Eminence, the Emir of Kano, Dr. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi until the same source came to tell the world that the material so depicted was in fact cloned and fake.”

Describing Ganduje as a man whose integrity is “above board”, Jibrin said the scandal would not affect the second term of the governor.

“May I use this opportunity to state without mincing words that His Excellency, Dr. Ganduje is a Governor whose integrity is above board. As a Senator from Kano State, I have watched with amazement over the years his anti-corruption stance,” he said.

“What is playing out now is nothing but a failed attempt to destroy the image of the Governor, turn the citizenry of the state and his massive supporters against him, then reap political benefits in 2019! No way!! The evil plot is dead on arrival.

“I therefore call on the good, discerning people of Kano State to treat the fake videos circulating as nothing but trash.
Meanwhile, let it be made abundantly clear that Governor Ganduje is not distracted with this satanic conspiracy. Rather, he is busy implementing his robust development agenda for the State.

“As for 2019, Governor Ganduje’s sterling performance in office stands him, President Muhammadu Buhari and other APC candidates in the State in good stead for re-election before the Kano electorates, therefore no amount of subterfuge and blackmail can change this position.”

OK.
Now the evidences are fake abi?

If the evidences of corruption are against opposition, the APC govt comes out with Insecticide to paint the culprit evil.
But if the evidences are against APC thieves, APC govt come with special Deodorants to clean the corrupt act and paint their corrupt cronies as saints.

Korokoro video them still dey deny, Nigeria don finish.

Because it affects an apc member is is now called fake.

Buhari and his self righteous bandits are criminals claiming to be fighting corruption.

Integrity and GanDOLLARje in the same sentence?

APC and its scams would shock the devil to his bones!

As if I care

Buhari's got his back.

You can NEVER be corrupt as long as you are and remain in the APC.

Let him decamp now and watch the EFCC take to Twitter to threaten him, while arresting all officials in his government.

The kind of looting going on now is shocking

agent of which darkness, these politicians wont kill me.




Please read my signature, thanks

Still asking myself how we got to this point

The problem of this country is, we embrace anything thrown at us without reasoning because of sentiment and these politicians take advantage of it. We are so divided that even sensible things no longer make sense to us.

Imagine what the accuser and the accused are doing to us with this issue that can be properly investigated without much ado and the truth published so that the relevant agency can take it up from there. We are now tossed back and forth because the level of our forensic is so poor that we can't get any meaningful thing out of this.

The video out there clearly shows that the onus is on the Governor to prove this to a reasonable doubt that that thing there wasn't you but a doctored one.

This is disgusting and embarrassing to this Nation.

Leave that Saint alone he didn't do anything . That video was acted by he's twin brother .

This Senator wants more facts to be spilled to the public. He isn't aware that those behind this are very prepared. Well, we'll just sit and watch the drama with our packs of popcorn.

This guy should get a longer jail term than ganduje

So,the video was photoshopped seeing him put the dollars in his pocket?
Is it the first video or second video?
Farouk Lawan also denied his,all from Kano state.....but a poor man steals,he might lose one arm;and end up on the streets of Lagos...
The first time I will see a 'fake' video with #babbarigamobilebanking.......

If Integrity smells like this,I rather be the DEVIL

Tueh

Can u imagine the defence of a glaring corruption expose. From the second video i watched, there is no possibility of it being fake...

Stand up and collect dollar, govenor mumu stand up

Put it in your pocket where it will be safe, govenor mumu collect money put for pocket.

Crooks in power

Babban Riga Mobile Banking is real!

Motto: We dey swallow anything.

Even as an APC supporter you can't defend this, there is no way on earth you can defend this with a straight face. Being paid to defend is even worst. I don't know the implication on a Nation wide scale but it will definitely hurt Buhari chance in Kano if he doesn't take a strong stance on this.

Agbada Bullion van.

Even if there is time and other inconsistencies is that not still Gaduje collecting bribe and smiling like Hyena? If they have told him to do frog jump self he would have obliged. If nothing will be done about this issue then nothing can be done about Atiku corruption issue too we are making mouth about and i will finally give up on Nigerian politics. I don't care anymore.

Please Nairalanders, i need sponsors for my mobile app.
