Encouraged by the commitment and hard work of the Executive Chairman of Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, Barrister Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, observed that, “The Executive Chairman’s commitment is being spotted nationally and even globally.”
He made the observation when he paid an inspection visit to the Commission, to see the level of progress in the renovation and upgrading of the office, adding that “Our state Anti-Corruption body is as independent as its Law provides.
We don’t interfere in the activities of the Commission at all.”
Governor Ganduje assured that his commitment to strengthening the Commission also includes the facelift exercise taking place, insisting that, “Without any fear of mincing words, our effort in facelifting this Commission will go a long way in modernizing its operations.”
Encouraging further that, whoever Barrister Rimingado caught ‘…is caught. And whoever you release is also released. Whoever is before you should not come to the governor.”
The new look of the Commission, according to the governor, depicts seriousness and good work of the agency. Adding that, when he came to power, the Commission was almost non-existent.
“We want improve the functionality of this Commission.
Government hand is not in any of the operations of the State Anti-Corruption Commission.
EFCC: Who succeeds Magu?
Ours is just to provide enabling environment for the place to work very well,” he said.
In his brief remarks, the Executive Chairman, assured his commitment to all the operations of the Commission, adding that, “We are proud of you the governor for giving us all the necessary support and political will.”
He also assured the governor, the commitment of his entire staff towards making Kano zero tolerant on corruption, emphasizing that, “Your Excellency, when we came in we were faced with many operational challenges. But with your guidance, support, show of commitment and seriousness, we were able to make it to this level.”
The governor was taken round the edifice, which almost quadrupled what was met on the ground.
With other technology-based equipment, the governor encouraged “Fighting corruption and other injustices in the state would be technology-driven and more effective, with what I saw in place.”

NNPP Crisis: Assembly Members Deny Factional Differences
By Salisu Baso
As the crisis erupted within Kano’s ruling party NNPP, with some members calling for the governor to stand independently, the Kano State House of Assembly has denied knowledge of any of its members being involved in the rifts.
The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Lawan Hussain, representing Dala Constituency, revealed this to newsmen in an interview with journalists over the publication of an online newspaper, Daily Nigeria, stating that some members of the NNPP in the House have joined the factional crisis.
He described the news as a fabricated and mischievous story from unpatriotic elements planning to destroy the peace reigning within the party. He said that as far as the members of the House are concerned, there are no conflicts between the governor and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The Majority Leader therefore assured the party parliament members of their solid support for the leader of the Kwankwasiyya and state governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, adding that the governor considers Senator Kwankwaso his mentor.
On the issue of some party members calling for the governor to be independent (Tsaya da Kafar Ka), Hon. Dala said the governor is operating independently without interference from any person. He therefore accused some opposition politicians from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, of sponsoring unpatriotic people to ignite a crisis in the state with a view to disrupting the government’s development initiatives.
