Abba Ganduje is also the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Dawakin Tofa, Rimingado and Tofa federal constituency in the House of Representatives.

The New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) has demanded an immediate investigation into the alleged diversion of state resources by Abba Ganduje, son of the Kano state governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

Abba Ganduje is also the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Dawakin Tofa, Rimingado and Tofa federal constituency in the House of Representatives.

The party chairman, Umar Haruna Doguwa disclosed this in a statement.

Dogunwa said NNPP had discovered that the state government diverted over 30 vehicles from the Kano Internal Revenue Service (KIRS) to the campaign activities of the APC candidate.

The statement read, “The vehicles emblazoned with Abba Ganduje's image are set to be distributed to the APC ward chairmen of Rimingado, Tofa, and Dawakin Tofa Federalconstituency to checkmate the incumbent Tijjani Abdulkadir Jobe who distributed about twenty cars to his party members recently.”

The statement further revealed that the said vehicles have been assembled on the premises of the temporary campus of the Northwest University, Kano and awaiting onward distribution to supporters of Abba.

The opposition party also faulted the deposition of the vehicles at a government institution (Yusuf Maitama Sule University's city campus) as a violation of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) guidelines for political campaigns.

"We, therefore, request for the anti-graft agencies such as EFFC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission), ICPC (Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission) and INEC to investigate both mismanagement of state resources, conflict of interest and violation of election guidelines,” Doguwa said.

"Governor Ganduje is known for running a government of nepotism with crass impunity by allowing too much involvement of his family into the affairs of the state administration, as a leading opposition party, we will no longer keep mute on such excessive recklessness.”
