The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano state on Thursday asked the immediate past governor of Kano state, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje not to honour the invitation extended to him by the state Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) over the purported dollar video.
The party conveyed this in a statement jointly signed by the chairman and secretary of the party, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas and Alhaji Zakari Sarina respectively.
The Executive Secretary, Kano state Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) had on Thursday morning summoned the former to appear before it over the purported dollar video.
The party said it has realized that the reenactment of the politically motivated issue of the Dollar video by the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) which is before a court of law, was part of evil ploy to dent the image of the former governor.
It further explained that similar scenario was played to scuttle the former governor’s chance of securing ticket for the party’s gubernatorial election in 2019.
The statement said that this time, the detractors are engaged in this campaign of calumny to draw a wedge between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Ganduje, one of the president’s strongest allies in the North.
According to the party,while Ganduje’s contributions to the Tinubu political project right from the conduct of the primary election, is widely appreciated, his relationship with the President remains cordial.
