President Muhammadu Buhari has finally reacted to the bribe-taking videos of Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, saying action would be taken on the matter.
Bihari reacted on Monday after a remark by a Kano student in France, who praised Ganduje for his achievements in the state. The student also advised the federal government to emulate the governor.t
His praise was however cut short by the president who asked the student if he had watched the governor’s videos receiving bribe in dollars.
“That aside, haven’t you watched the videos of the governor stuffing dollars under his gown?” the president asked rhetorically while demonstrating how the governor was stuffing the bundles of dollars under his babbarriga.
“We gave the videos to security agencies for vetting. And we will surely take action on the matter if he is found guilty.”
Report has it that a member representing Nassarawa Constituency, Nassir Ali-Ahmed and personal assistant to the president on Broadcast Media, Sha’aban Sharada, pleaded with journalists to remove the portion where the president made remark on the governor.
The Paris town hall meeting, held at Shangrilla Hotel and was attended by Nigerian Students studying in various institutions in France, Nigerian community in France, APC members in France, among others.
Buhari was accompanied by Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi, Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano, Ambassador of Nigeria to France Modupe Irele, Minister of Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Onyeama, Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami and National Security Adviser Babagana Monguno.
