Commenting on the Facebook thread, one user, Mubarak Aminu Hamisu, wrote: \u201cIt always makes me laugh when members of Kwankwasiyya Movement mock Ganduje over corruption, because none of you know Kwankwaso better than Ganduje does. Only that your principal is better at covering it than Ganduje. Remember Kwankwaso is currently having a corruption case with EFCC. So, Kwankwaso and Ganduje are two sides of the same coin when it comes to corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another Facebook user, Sadeeq Mahmud Abdurrahman, added: \u201cIn Nigeria, we have hidden monsters who secretly collect two billion naira monthly for what we don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recall that the immediate past Secretary to the Kano State Government (SSG), Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, has accused the Kano State Government of approving a monthly payment of two billion naira to former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso\u2014an action he claims he could not support.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, his refusal to endorse the move led to his removal from office.<\/p>\n<p>The development adds a new layer to the ongoing political discourse between Kano\u2019s current leadership and its predecessor, amid wider national debates on governance models and democratic values.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
