Kano State Government has demanded an apology from an online medium, Sahara Reporters for alleging that Governor Abdullahi Ganduje is among three governors accused of stashing public funds.
This is in a statement signed by the state Commissioner for Information Muhammed Garba on Sunday.
The statement alleged that the online media reported that Governor Ganduje was among three governors accused of financial crime by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Garba, in the statement, threatened to take legal action against the publishers if they failed to retract the story and apologise to the government.
The statement condemned the report, saying it lacked substance of an investigative story, claiming that it was a deliberate attempt to tarnish the image of the governor and the state.
Kano State, it said, was amongst the few states of the Federation that consistently paid its workers’ salary as and when due.
“Gov. Ganduje has not acquired any billions of naira, stashed away any fund that could be used for workers’ salary in an era of e-banking services,” the statement said.
