Other local government councils are also listed to receive hundreds of millions of Naira to fund elections.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cThe money was released solely for sponsoring political thugs to unleash violence on the innocent citizens and residents of Kano State during the supplementary elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wish to again caution all the local government chairmen and their management staff including Directors of Personnel Management (DPMs), Treasurers, and other employees at the state and local government levels who may be directly or indirectly involved in this heinous act to as a matter of responsibility distance themselves and ensure that all public funds already released are not used for such purposes and returned to the appropriate coffers.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cWhile appreciating the good samaritan who came forward to confide in us some of the evil plans to be meted against the good people of Kano ahead of the forthcoming supplementary elections, it is very pertinent to bring to the attention of all employees in the state that anybody found wanting on this scandal will face the necessary action at the most appropriate time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are aware, that the state government has brought in thousands of thugs from within and outside Kano State to destabilize the relative peace. It is, therefore, necessary to call on the security agencies to take swift action against the potential repeat of violent thuggery attacks on innocent citizens of Kano state.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kano state governor-elect, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has alleged that Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has released millions of naira to local government chairmen for Saturday\u2019s supplementary elections in the state.
