\n
The Kano house of assembly has set up a panel to investigate the bribery<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
allegation against Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of the state, according to
\nDAILY NIGERIAN.<\/p>\n

In a video trending online, Ganduje was seen collecting bundles of dollars
\nand putting them into his white dress known as \u2018babanriga\u2019 in the northern
\npart of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The video has generated a lot of reactions from Nigerians, with some
\nsaying it is a dent on President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s corruption agenda
\nsince the governor is a member of the ruling party.<\/p>\n

Raising a motion on Monday, Labaran Madari, a member representing Warawa
\nconstituency, said the assembly should investigate the authenticity of the
\nvideo and take necessary actions.<\/p>\n

Madari said the videos had brought the institution of governance in the
\nstate to disrepute.<\/p>\n

The matter was seconded by Baffa Dan\u2019Agundi, a member representing Kano
\nmunicipal.<\/p>\n

Alhassan Rurum, speaker of the house, therefore, constituted a seven-man
\ncommittee to investigate the matter and report back to the assembly.<\/p>\n

Members of the committee include Baffa Dan\u2019Agundi, Labaran Madari, Garba
\nGafasa, Zubairu Masu, Ayuba Labaran, Abubakar Galadima, Garba Yau Gwarmai
\nand Mujtafa Amin.<\/p>\n

Sources were quoted as saying the assembly is planning to serve the
\ngovernor impeachment notice as soon as the committee submits its report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a serious matter that should not be swept under the carpet. We
\ndid preliminary investigation and found out the videos are genuine. The
\ncommittee is just mere formality,\u201d said a member who was said to have
\npreferred anonymity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor confessed to some of us that it was real but he is now
\ntrying to stop us from exercising our constitutional duty.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
