A Senator from Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso has distanced himself from the video indicting the State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje of allegedly collecting 5million dollars as bribe.<\/p>\n

Two separate videos had emerged online of the Governor allegedly collecting bribe from contractors in the state.<\/p>\n

Following the emergence of the videos, the Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, had claimed that Jafar Jafar, Publisher of Daily Nigerian, was working with Kwankwanso.<\/p>\n

However, Kwankwaso insisted that there was nothing between the publisher and him.<\/p>\n

Kwankwaso\u2019s stance was contained in a statement by his spokesperson, Hajiya Binta Spikin.<\/p>\n

The terse statement reads, \u201cEveryone knows that Jafar Jafar is an independent journalist and his medium, Daily Nigerian, is also indepen-dent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no deal whatsoever between Jafar and Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso. So if they are suspecting anything, it is left for them to prove it.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
