Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Muhammad Garba, spokesman for former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, has dismissed allegations of corruption against his principal, describing them as politically motivated.<\/p>\n

Garba, a former Kano State Commissioner for Information, in a statement on Monday, said Ganduje governed the state with accountability, transparency and left lasting legacies during his eight years in office.<\/p>\n

He accused the Kano State Government of making deliberate attempts to link Ganduje to financial mismanagement, land grabbing, and overspending through the Protocol Directorate, insisting the claims were false.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Ganduje\u2019s record reflects decades of service to Kano State. These narratives are acts of misinformation aimed at distracting the public from real governance issues,\u201d Garba said.<\/p>\n

He stressed that all activities carried out by the directorate were administrative, lawful, and within state-approved budgets, adding that suggestions to the contrary were distortions.<\/p>\n

The former commissioner further maintained that Ganduje prioritised development and responsible management of state resources, pointing to enduring programmes and projects left behind by his administration.<\/p>\n

Garba urged the public, media, and political actors to refrain from using Ganduje\u2019s name for propaganda or political attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there are genuine concerns, there are proper legal channels to address them. Dragging a former leader\u2019s name into these narratives is unjust,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
