We Are Making Secret Plan Against Those Who Released My Dollar Video — Ganduje

The governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, has vowed to deal
with those who released a video of him stuffing dollars in his
babbarriga pockets, insisting that he would not reveal the secret
plans he is making, According to DAILY NIGERIAN report.

The governor spoke in a BBC Hausa programme, A Fada A Cika,
aired on Friday evening.

“No doubt the video is fake,” the governor said, adding that “we
are making some underground plans, which we will not reveal. But I
assure you it is fake, and all those behind it will be put to
shame.”

When the interviewer rehashed the question, seeking to
categorically know whether it was the governor in the videos, Mr
Ganduje said the video was doctored to show him collecting
something.

“Even your picture can be tampered to show something on your
head or hand. And you know it’s possible. People always tend to
believe a falsehood.

“The fact is that we will take action against the matter,” the
governor said, triggering a follow-up question as to whether
anything of that nature occurred.

“It is a lie. Nothing of that nature ever happened. It was just
part of a scheme to stop me from contesting the election – and I
contested; to stop me from winning an election – and I won. But
that is not the issue, the big issue that we will deal with those
behind it,” he said.

Recall on November 15, 2018 the governor dragged DAILY NIGERIAN
newspaper and its publisher, Jaafar Jaafar over video clips
published by the online medium showing the governor collecting
bribe in hard currency from contractors.

DAILY NIGERIAN reported that the suit, filed at a state High
Court, is coming one month after publishing the bribe-taking video
story.

In the suit filed by Mr Ganduje’s counsel, Nuraddeen Ayagi, the
governor is seeking the court to, among others, restrain DAILY
NIGERIAN from further publishing what he called “defamatory
doctored video clips.”

The governor also wanted the court to order DAILY NIGERIAN to
pay the sum of N3 billion as damages for the defamation of his
character.

The case is still ongoing at the court.
