Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has denied any involvement in a recent contract awarded for the supply of drugs to 44 Local Government Councils in the state. In a statement released on Sunday, jointly signed by the state Commissioner for Information, Baba Dantiye, and his spokesperson, Sanusi Tofa, the governor distanced himself from the contract.
The statement emphasized that Governor Yusuf has no knowledge of the contract and has therefore mandated the Executive Chairman of the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate the allegation. The governor has called for a prompt investigation and has urged the people of Kano State to exercise patience pending the outcome of the investigation.
This development comes amidst other challenges facing the state, including the recent tragic incident where a mother and five children died after consuming expired food. Governor Yusuf has also been engaged in a dispute with his predecessor, Ganduje, over allegations of stolen court papers.
The governor’s denial of any involvement in the contract and his call for an investigation demonstrate his commitment to transparency and accountability in governance. The investigation by the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission is expected to uncover the facts surrounding the contract and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
As the investigation unfolds, the people of Kano State are urged to remain patient and await the outcome. The governor’s actions demonstrate his dedication to upholding the principles of good governance and ensuring that the interests of the people of Kano State are protected.
