Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has vowed not to shield anybody culpable of corruption which his administration is committed to fight.

The Governor stated this on Saturday during a visit to the state’s Public Complaint and Anti Corruption Commission.

“Whosoever falls into the commission’s trap should face the consequence. I will have nothing to do with it. I will not interfere with any case whosoever might be involved,” he said.

“With the way corruption is fighting back and the fight against corruption being an agenda of President Muhammad Buhari, the federal government cannot fight it alone. It needs domestication in the states and the local governments to succeed.”
