Former State Government (SSG) Secretary Abdullahi Baffa Bichi has refuted allegations of financial misconduct by the governor of Kano State as “false and baseless” due to the alleged diversion of N2 billion from local government funds.
Governor Yusuf’s remarks come in response to recent statements made by Bichi, in which he (Bichi) claimed that Musa Kwankwaso, a former state governor, was accused of defrauding the state treasury.
However, the governor maintained that his administration was open and held accountable as he addressed 484 elected ward councillors on Sunday evening at the Government House’s Coronation Hall.
God has already done for us, according to the statement from the government. No thief can feel at ease with us because no one who is a thief can stay in our country, according to Governor Yusuf.

He referred to the allegations as an attempt to denigrate Senator Kwankwaso, his political mentor, who he claimed has a flawless record in public service.
“We applaud God for our government’s complete cleanliness. It is a government that pays attention to every aspect of development. He claimed that the funds that were given to us were carefully used.
Governor Yusuf reacted furiously to the remarks made by Bichi, noting that the former SSG had previously had the opportunity to serve the people.
“It surprised me to hear some remarks from a former member of this government who was supported, in a powerful position to support both the people and the administration,” I said. He is running for office and making outrageous claims today.
According to what he said, “This administration, which is not even two years old, has stolen ten times as much as the previous administration, led by (a former governor, Abdullahi) Ganduje.” Does anyone have reason to make this statement?
The governor also defended the claims that Senator Kwankwaso receives monthly payments from the state government as fabricated.
Additionally, this same person claimed that the governor’s representative, Jagora, demands N2 billion each month. If distributed to local governments, this N2 billion would be extremely beneficial.
A man of God with a clean and commendable record who has served as a federal lawmaker, two-term governor, minister, senator, and twice as a presidential candidate, he said.

The Kano people are proud of Rapiu Musa Kwankwaso because he is not a thief. The governor vowed that neither you nor your allies would denigrate his name.
The governor questioned Bichi’s actions in keeping with the values of a true Kano indigenous person, questioning the accuser’s credibility.
Are you the governor’s father, Yusuf said, “You claim the governor was pleading with you for assistance? He’s your father, right? The governor was he appointing you, or did you choose him?
Is he pleading with you for favors or is he asking for favors from you? Something is obviously wrong. If the office you were given had any bearing on the budget, please let us know. No sane person would consent to this behavior.
