Kano NNPP Transition Committee Advices LG Chairmen Against Siphoning Funds

The Kano State New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Gubernatorial Transition Committee (GTC) has warned local government Chairmen to be prudent in their spending.

The Committee also warned them not to allow themselves to be used in siphoning public funds.

The public advisory which was issued on Thursday by the Chairman, AB Baffa Bichi reads;

“The 2023 NNPP Gubernatorial Transition Committee wishes to draw the attention of all 44 Local Government Council Chairmen and their Managements and advise them to desist from the alleged round tripping of public funds between their councils and the State’s Ministry for Local Governments. Specifically:

a. We advise them not to allow themselves to be used, again, as conduits for siphoning public funds to finance the forthcoming supplementary elections in some states and federal constituencies of the State; and

b. We further advise them to operate strictly in accordance with all the relevant financial regulations and extant guidelines."

As the NNPP usually closes its advisories, it said this is done in the interest of the Kano people.
