PLEASE STOP THAT RUBBISH..............Kano state government release official statement on viral purported video showing the governor, Umar Ganduje, receiving bribes from state contractors

Earlier today, a purported video of the Kano state governor, Umar Ganduje, allegedly receiving bribes from a state contractor, went viral. The state government has released a statement reacting to the video. The government says the video is doctored by a certain extortionist.

Read the statement below.abeg

However see Nigerians reaction

Kano state governor, Umar Ganduje, is the number one trending topic on social media in Nigeria at the moment.

This comes after a video of him purportedly receiving bribe in dollars hit the internet today and Nigerians are having a field day trolling and bashing him.

See the video and social media reactions below....

We now know why Kano Governor, @GovUmarGanduje, likes very big Agbada and baban riga. It is for ‘banking’ purposes. Farouk Lawan used cap banking, while Ganduje prefers agbada banking. No wonder they fought President Jonathan for introducing the cashless policy #RenosDarts

Ganduje will say the video was doctored, that he was not receiving a bribe, he would campaign for Buhari, finish his term as governor, go to the Senate & the people of Kano will move on. It is just how we roll here.

The #Ganduje video doesn't prove a bribe was received, merely that he collected Dollars.

$ received could have been:
Proceeds from a successful & legitimate business transaction
Repayment of a loan
A Naira to Dollar FX Conversion

Till audio is provided, we can only speculate.

That Ganduje video is very sad. How can Nigeria progress like this? Some people will still try to defend this.

Either way, the right thing to do with this #Ganduje case is for the Kano House of Assembly, the @officialEFCC and the @PoliceNG to commence separate investigations to ensure the money exchanged was for legitimate purposes.

If watching Ganduje pocket your children's future in form of $5m, isn't enough reason for you to want to partake in politics or leave Nigeria, nothing will be ! pic.twitter.com/DVjWBNTJhT

Who was responsible for the soundtrack in that Ganduje video? Made the governor look like ciroki collecting money to marry off his daughter to the rich man she doesn't like

This Gov Ganduje’s bribe issue is a real test on President @Mbuhari’s fight against corruption. Is it a real one or the administration have been lying all along,we watch on ?

— Muhammadu Tijjani (@Byniass) October 14, 2018

EFCC should track down and arrest the tailor who made Ganduje’s Babbar Riga...he made it on purpose ?.

— Mukhtar Yusuf Ilu (@ilumuktar) October 14, 2018

let's us be real. Ganduje no any silver bullet will stop him from been impeach or come back for his second term.

Quick calculation.
$1= #365 (as at Friday, 12/10/18)
$5M x #365 = #1,825,000,000

This is what Ganduje sitting Gov of Kano state collected as bribe under Pres., #Buhari who claimed to be fighting corruption.#GodHelps9ja@APCNigeria @cnni @SaharaReporters @Gidi_Traffic @BBCNews

It took the @officialEFCC less than 15mins to put up a silly and unprofessional tweet dissing Governor Ayodele Fayose after his candidate lost the Ekiti election, but are feigning blind, deaf & dumb on this Abdullahi Ganduje 5,000,000 USD bribery scandal. #GandujeGate
