Fourty Contractors Die In Kano Due To Former Gov Kwankwaso's Failure To Settle Debt

By Author
Kano state chairman of indigenous contractors, Alhaji Abduwa Maitangaran,
has disclosed that over 50 members of their association are currently in prison due to former Governor Kwankwaso's inability to pay their contract funds.

KWANKWASO


Speaking with journalists in Kano on Tuesday, he claimed that 40 of their
members also died due to frustration they went through for the non-payment of their contract money by the Kwankwaso administration.

He wondered why how the former governor refused to settle the contractors after sending him over 26 letters and sat with him more than 20 times, but he only made promises that he could not fulfil.

'Former governor made sure that we were all broke before he left us un-attended. For your information many things that were done at the so-called new cities of Kwankwasiyya, Amana and Bandirawo were outside the Bill of Quantity (BQ)'.

According to him, the former Governor needs to be probed for shoddy deals in the execution of many projects in the state during his tenure.
He said: “Instead of him to borrow from banks or other government departments, Kwankwaso used our money and executed those projects. To the surprise of all, not even 30% of our payments was effected before he left government house.”

He commended the present governor of the state, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, for giving them N200m to be able to settle some of the debts on their shoulders

Obasanjo's Plans for ING

By Author
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has set his mind on regime change “by fair or foul means” and is plotting to plunge Nigeria into crisis, presidential spokesman Reuben Abati has said. He was reacting to statements credited to Obasanjo on Saturday that President Goodluck Jonathan was plotting to win the 2015 general election by “hook or crook”. Obasanjo had endorsed Jonathan’s main challenger Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, but then seemed to backtrack on Thursday. There are insinuations that Obasanjo is not well disposed to Buhari either and would want an interim national government (ING) to be headed by him to midwife new elections in which neither Jonathan nor Buhari would be candidates.

'My hope and prayer was that on your ascension you would deploy our military with fiat and alacrity armed to the teeth and silence or at least contain Boko Haram. My prayer was that as a seasoned General you would not only flush out king pins and barons but retrieve the loot as you napped them one after the other but we see them working for you. Is th...
