According to the Executive Council of Ganduje Ward led by Haruna Gwanjo, the former governor has to clear his name of corruption allegations regarding his long-standing dollar case.

Recall that a viral video had captured Ganduje allegedly receiving bundles of dollar notes as a bribe from a man said to be a contractor and stuffing them in the pockets of his flowing gown.

The video, which garnered widespread attention in 2017, has been the subject of intense scrutiny.

Ganduje had denied the content of the video when it first surfaced and maintained his innocence, but years after, the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP’s administration of Governor Abba Yusuf revisited the case, vowing the prosecute the ex-governor.

The Kano High Court will on Wednesday, 17th April, 2024, arraign Ganduje on charges bordering on allegations of bribery, diversion, and misappropriation of funds, including the purported acceptance of four hundred and thirteen thousand dollars and one point three eight billion naira in bribes.
