The governorship candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) in Kano State and former Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has challenged the Governor of Kano State to provide concrete evidence to support his allegations that he received funds from local government councils through his son, Mujahid Aminu Abdussalam.
Gwarzo’s response followed allegations made by the spokesperson to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, who reportedly claimed that funds from local government councils were channeled to the former deputy governor through his son.
In a statement issued on Thursday by his spokesperson, Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu, Comrade Gwarzo described the allegations as baseless, outrageous, and a totally ridiculous attempt to tarnish his hard-earned integrity throughout his public service.
“The allegations are mere figments of the Governor’s imagination lacking any basis. We therefore categorically challenge the accuser to provide credible and verifiable evidence to substantiate these callous claims. Mere accusations, no matter how often repeated in the media, do not amount to proof,” the statement added.
The NDC governorship candidate maintained that throughout his public service career, he upheld the principles of transparency, accountability and the rule of law.
He expressed confidence that the truth would ultimately prevail and urged members of the public to disregard what he described as unfounded allegations.
