Ganduje: Contractor who recorded bribery videos showing Kano gov breaks silence



The contractor behind the videos showing Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State purportedly receiving bribes, has finally opened up on the matter.


He has also expressed his readiness to testify before the Kano House of Assembly panel investigating the issue.

In a letter sent to the chairman of the investigative panel, through Saeed Muhd Twada, his lawyer, the contractor, who was referred to as a ‘whistleblower’, said his allegation against Ganduje is strictly personal and that he would appreciate if the governor also appears in person at the panel.


He said his appearance before the panel will be based on the fulfilment of some conditions which were listed in the letter.

One of the conditions is that all the video clips will be submitted to two experts for forensic analysis and report: one, a serving officer of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the other an expatriate, while their bills will be paid for by the state.

“That a Certified True Copy of the Report(s) prepared by the experts shall be made available to our client prior to his appearance,” the letter read.


“That our client has undertaken to surrender to the experts, the device used in capturing all the events in the video clips submitted and others yet to be submitted for discreet analysis and scrutiny.

“That all the proposed questions to be asked by the panel in the anticipated session shall not be more than TEN (10) and shall be forwarded to our client in advance.

“That the sitting be restricted to limited persons and that our client should be allowed to wear mask, bear pseudo name and receive protection from authorities for himself, family and business undertakings.”

The contractor also demanded that the panel must also have in attendance the governor, Jaafar Jaafar, publisher of Daily Nigerian newspaper, and one Aminu Daurawa.

The Assembly, under the leadership of Alhaji Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, constituted a committee on October 15 to establish the authenticity of the videos.

Jaafar during his appearance before the committee on October 15 insisted that the videos were genuine.

However, Governor Ganduje denied collecting bribe from any contractor.

Testifying before the lawmakers, Ganduje said the allegation levelled against him are injurious.

He added that the said video clips released by the publisher of Daily Nigerian was aimed at tarnishing his image politically.

The state Commissioner of Information, Muhammad Garba while reading out the written response to the Committee, said, “I have the instruction of His Excellency, the Governor of Kano state, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje (OFR) to write as follows:

“That His Excellency, the Governor of Kano state categorically and unequivocally denied the allegation of collecting bribe from contractors as alleged by the publisher of the online newspaper, Daily Nigerian.”

Can we stop overflogging this issue?

The Court of law has instructed that this matter be dropped. They've even prohibited the state house of assembly from further probing it.

Can't we learn to obey the rule of law?
This may be a deliberate ploy to distract EFCC's attention from Fayose and Ekweremadu's cases.

It would have been a lovely decision and attempt from the said contractor if only Nigeria is a civilized country to fight corruption without connection.

It's so sad and pitiful that this country is too lawless to take such risk.

Ok ooo, so someone has accepted to come out open?
They really mean to Nail the culprit.�
Ganduje (abi na GanDollar) must be shiiting his pants now.

But i doubt the conditions stated by the testifier will be accepted.
Even though i know for sure Ganduje is guilty of the crime, but i dont agree to the condition stated by the Testifier that 10 questions he would be asked in court should be given to him in advance. ( Where is that done)

And the Testifier wants to appear in court Masked? Lolz.
They can as well bring Lagbaja the Masked Musician to court.

Ganduje and his Counsel knows the Testifier cannot dare come out open and the case wouldnt be easy for his opponents as "He who gives bribe is as guilty under the law as the taker of the bribe."

They have just given Ganduje's Counsel strong grounds to object all conditions and kill the case.
The Testifier need to be Bold enough and take the risks to nail the crooked gov Ganduje.

Better garnish with "sauce" to make it delicious

This contractor needs to stop bothering himself because even if he decides to shiit his silence, the Pope and his cardinals have canonised Gandollar and declared him as one who can never see nor hear evil.

Saint Gandollar we hail thee but refuse to worship ye..

It is only in Nigeria you catch a thieving politician red handed yet he proves to you how his action is justifiable or that what you saw him doing wasn't what you saw.

I weep for Nigeria, the presence of these Hausa-fulanis is cancerous, spreading until it consumes the whole body. A handful of illiterate people doing beyond imagination, damages that no other group or tribe would ever do.

I pity Nigerians Buhari and his Boys haven't started yet with you guys. This is just the beginning

i have nothing to say

Contractor please just go home to your family and rest. You have tried your best to nail this super and shameless corrupt governor but the government of the day is selective in its so called anti corruption war.

Nigeria is a funny place where black is called white and white called black.
Even a child in kindergarten will tell you how real and authentic that video is yet they went ahead to get a "jankara" court order to stop the investigation.

Jankara court order like the attestation given to the fool the other day.

God will judge all of you one by one.

Rubbish.

Soon they will give him one Otobo and find bags of money in his house for daring to expose the devil

JudasNaCarrot this your name eh . Kai people dey mad walai

When Will This Guy Be Arrested?

A clear conscience knows no fear, if truly Ganduje is found guilty or innocent, the truth will still come out one way or the other...

And for the so called"Contractor", he will also receive his sentence too... for giving bribe.
