APC Chieftain Accuses Mai Mal Buni Of Receiving Bribe From Governor Ganduje

Published

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano, Hassan Alwan has made an allegation that Yobe state governor and the party’s Caretaker Committee Chairman, Mai Mala Buni requested a bribe from Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.

Alwan made the allegation while appearing on a Channels Television program “Sunday Politics” on February, 20, 2022.

He was reacting to the lack of activities toward the National Convention of APC slated for Saturday, February 26, 2022.

The Buni-led Caretaker Committee was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari after the dissolution of the Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee (NWC), and is saddled with the responsibility of organising a convention to install a substantive Chairman.

However, the party is currently enmeshed in an internal strife allegedly caused by the desire of various groups to seize control of the party ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

“When the judgement of appeal court came on thursday and it was in favour of the Kano state government, and the Kano governor asked Mai Mala to issue a certificate of return to the substantive chairman, do you know what he said, he requested for money.

“He requested the governor gives him money before he issues the certificate…. is that not fraudulent?

“His excellency the governor Kano state is alive today, Mai Mala Buni is alive, you could ask from them, he requested for money.”

 

When Solacebase on Monday contacted Kano State Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba on the bribe allegation by Mai Mala Buni, he denied knowledge of such situation.

The Commissioner insisted that the accuser, Hassan Alwan should open up the issue, if he was in the know of how the bribe was demanded.

‘’You need to go and ask Hassan Alwan to tell you if he was there when the bribe was demanded or you go and ask Mai Mala Buni as he was accused by Alwan,’’ Muhammad reacted
