Not bothered by his criticisms, Ganduje’s eight years were wasted – Gov Yusuf

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State says his administration has achieved in eight months what the immediate past government of Abdullahi Ganduje could not achieve after two tenures.

Yusuf, through his Director-General of Media and Publicity, Malam Sunusi Bature, told NAN in Kano on Monday that he was not bothered by criticisms by Ganduje.

He was reacting to allegations by Ganduje, now National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, of using diversionary tactics to cover up his failure to deliver dividends of democracy in the state.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Edwin Olofu, Ganduje alleged that it was unfortunate that Yusuf failed to meet public expectations despite the increase in fiscal allocations to the state.

“Our eight months in office have remarkably outweighed Ganduje’s eight wasted years of political caricature and maladministration by all standards,” Yusuf said.

Yusuf said his administration was inclined to prioritise attention to socio-economic and physical infrastructure developments for the overall well-being of the state’s people.

He urged the appropriate authorities, such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to ensure that those who embezzled the state’s monies, including Ganduje, were brought to book through legal means.
