The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to begin an investigation into bribery allegations against Kano State Governor Umar Ganduje, lib reports.
This follows the release of several videos online showing the governor taking bribes from state contractors. You may recall that a Kano High Court has since restrained the state House of Assembly from further investigating the matter pending the determination of the originating summons.
The CNPP said; “the burden of proof that the President Muhammadu Buhari government is covering corrupt members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is heavier now with the Federal Government’s continued silence over the allegations against the governor.”
A statement by CNPP Secretary General Willy Ezugwu, read in part: “we are left to believe that the Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari and the EFCC under Mr. Ibrahim Magu only fight corruption in states with opposition leaders. Not a few Nigerians have argued that the APC is a hiding place for corrupt politicians and a cover for looters who want a respite from the anti-graft agencies under the current Federal Government"
