Abdullahi Ganduje |
Kano governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has appeared in another video clip allegedly receiving a bribe.
The first video was released to the public on Sunday.
The money was part of tranches received amounting to about $5million from contractors in the state.
Contractors told DAILY NIGERIAN that the governor personally receives
from 15 to 25 percent kickbacks for every project executed in the
state.
The sting operation to capture the governor on camera began two years
ago when one of the contractors agreed to plant spy camera on his
kaftan lapel while offering the bribe.
During about 10 months efforts to capture the bribe giving/taking
scenes, the governor’s face and body were clearly captured in nine
clips, while six others did not clearly reveal the governor’s face.
About $5m dollars were delivered to the governor in all.
One of the contractors who preferred not to be named said the reason
he released the footage is to expose corruption and bring sanity to the
country.
“If my aim is to blackmail or extort the governor, I would have used
the videos, get over a billion settlement or force the governor to pay
the hundreds of millions of naira the state is owing my company or force
him to pay back all the money I paid him as kickbacks,” he said.
“We believe if public office holders are exposed, there will be
sanity in the system even if I will not be the beneficiary in future.”
