The Kano state governor-elect, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf has vowed to recover public properties allegedly sold by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to his family members.
The Chairman of the Recovery of Public Assets Subcommittee of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Gubernatorial Transition Council, Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi disclosed this to journalists in Kano on Wednesday.
According to him, the Kano State Public Procurement Bureau office popularly known as Due Process Office located at State Road, was allegedly sold to Governor Ganduje’s son, Abba, at a ridiculous price of less than N10 million.
“We are deeply worried, the manner in which the outgoing administration is mortgaging the common patrimony of the good people of Kano State leaves much to be desired.
“This is akin to vandalism” of every structure of governance, adding that this is not what is expected of a government that was given the opportunity to rule the state for eight years.
“This place (Due Process Office) was sold for less than N10 million and we are aware that the boy has sold it for over N300 million. You are literally giving him the place free of charge and asking him to go and get a buyer.
“We feel that this is the most unfortunate destruction of public property that anybody could ever imagine,” Bichi said.
What they are doing, he said, is just a drama. The real game is going to start from May 29.
