The Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) governorship candidate in Kano State and former deputy governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, has publicly challenged Governor Abba Yusuf to provide concrete evidence supporting allegations that local government funds were diverted through Gwarzo’s son, Mujahid Aminu Abdussalam.
This demand comes after Governor Yusuf’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, accused Gwarzo of being the recipient of funds funneled from local councils via his son. In a statement released on Thursday through his spokesperson, Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu, Gwarzo dismissed the accusations as baseless, outrageous, and a desperate attempt to tarnish his long-standing reputation in public service.
According to Gwarzo, the allegations are mere figments of the governor’s imagination, lacking any factual foundation. He firmly called on the accuser to produce credible and verifiable evidence to support the malicious claims. “Mere accusations, no matter how often repeated in the media, do not constitute proof,” the statement emphasized.
The NDC candidate reiterated his unwavering commitment to transparency, accountability, and the rule of law throughout his career. He expressed confidence that the truth will eventually prevail and urged the public to disregard what he termed baseless allegations.
