According to the commissioner, “There are available records on how his govrernment sold many valuable residential buildings in the Government Reserved Area (GRA) as well as vehicles belonging to the state government valued at millions of naira at giveaway price.”
The commissioner further alleged that Kwankwaso “confiscated and converted for other use land earmarked by the administration of Malam Ibrahim Shekarau for school building, diverted pensioners’ money to embark on a white elephant project by building houses that are still beyond the purchasing power of an average citizen.”
Kwankwasiyya faction of PDP had accused the Ganduje administration of selling public assets.
The statement urged the people of state to “ignore all sorts of rumours being peddled by disgruntled elements bent on casting aspersion on the Ganduje administration on its mission to develop the state and particularly make it attain the mega city status.”
