A coalition of civil society organisations have dismissed an online report that an unnamed governor of a state in the North West geopolitical zone has been caught on tape collecting bribes totalling $5million.

The coalition; Citizens for Justice Network, CJN, Peoples Alliance for Indigenous Rights, PAIR, Society for Civic and Gender Equity, SoCEGE, and Network for Transparency, NET, in a statement in Abuja, described the report as mere concoction aimed at fishing for something but with nothing.


Spokespersons of the coalition, Isa Mahmud of PAIR and Okoronkwo Chuks, said the report was an act of desperation intent on causing confusion in the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, by wild allegations.

According to them, it is inconceivable that any serious minded person could imagine anybody, more so a governor, stuffing a whopping $5million into the pockets of his trousers.

They stressed that after rigorous findings, the coalition established that the report was the handiwork of Rabiu Kwankwaso and his Kwankwasiyya movement aimed at stoking crisis in the North West, a stronghold of President Muhammadu Buhari, ahead of the 2019 elections.

“It is a matter of fact that the publisher of the Daily Nigerian, Jafar Jafar, is a former aide to Senator Kwankwaso as governor and still works for him.

“Having failed woefully at his futile attempt to be president, he is back to spinning cheap tales and aiming to foment trouble in the North West.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the infantile effort, like all others in the past, will amount to absolutely nothing.”

The coalition also wondered how the so-called analyst of the apparently doctored video were able to determine the exact sum from watching on screen.

The duo of Mahmud and Chuks said Nigerians were now wiser and would not be misled into buying a damaged product that the online medium is trying to sell.

The groups, therefore, advised the publisher of the newspaper to be guided of the Cybercrimes Prohibition and Prevention Act of 2015 against making any unfounded claims against any governor of the North West.

Whether he is behind ooo or beside ooo or along ooo or between ooo we no care

He's a thief


So because them catch am
Nigeria na funny country

3 videos. Ganduje time is off. The video will soon be out for the public and I will keep eyes on Daily Nigerian.


And by their comments it's true the video exist if not they will deny the existence of the video and not it authenticity.

Very stupid statement

So kwankwaso told Ganduje to correct dollars as bribe and put in his gown and then recorded it.

They should release the video so we can see the angles and saints in apc

.

Atiku na THIEF O!
No THIEF IN APC!!!!

Kwankwaso must have probably drugged him, and made him collect bribe money without knowing. APC gat no shame. 2019 can't come soon enough.

The question is: did he collect the bribe or not?

Jafar Jafar exposed Sunusi Lamido sunusi on corruption - Ganduje supporters encourage him and call it investigative journalism

Jafar Jafar Attack Kwankwaso for fielding his relatives as candidates for Governor and legislative position - Ganduje supporters cherish him and call Kwankwaso a nepotic leader.

Jafar Jafar expose Ganduje Receiving Bribe - Ganduje supporters "We all know he is working for Kwankwaso to cause trouble in Northwest "

I talk am say they wan dig out dis Ganduje case like this

political rebels........the exposure is not because of the urge to do the right thing but because of political reasons.

It is obviously the handiwork of his opponents. However, that doesn't absolve him of guilt. The video should be properly investigated and if found to be genuine, he should resign and face prosecution.

Still Blane opposition before you talked sense

It doesn't matter who is behind the video. In fact we are grateful to whoever is behind it

I knew it


APC politicians don't like money


It must be the opposition that used juju on Ganduje to collect bribe...

What's vexing me most is that all these so-called groups were possibly not existing before now. They suddenly spring up with fictitious leaders to defend a politician and then disappear into thin air after a week or two.
That Ganduje has already rallied his boys to come to his defence even when it was only said that a northwestern governor was caught on camera, shows he's guilty. APC should strike out his name and replace him with someone else.

CROWNWEALTH019:

Still Blane opposition before you talked sense

Opponents not opposition party. The people behind the video are obviously close to him. They could be members of his party who want to push him out for various reasons.

is the thing real? Simple. Who cares even if Adolf Hitler was behind it?

Trust me, some times its better not to talk so as not to look stupid.

Really? You are also blaming the opposition here? Opposition pushed him to take bribe? What happened to the fight against corruption your lord Bubu is fighting? I guess APC members are shielded.

The president should not sweep this under the carpet.

Baseless accusation.

at least you are reasonable

But this guy called buhariguy what is he always on

Buhariguy be like: Kwankwaso and the lazy idiotic pigs are behind this. They gave him the 5 million

This 1 my account is doing sign in, MOD I didn't insult anybody o

Nigeria

foolish groups everywhere seeking for relevance...every accusation true or false must be linked to the political opposition.

politics in Nigeria is so exhausting...lies lies and more lies everywhere hence it's impossible to know when the truth is been told..

trash! are you saying the man didn't collect it? butterflyleo, PDP is leaking our secret oooo!

Nigeria

But is the video true or not? Anyway Kwankwaso will show ganduje who is the boss
