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

OMG Davido opens up about baby mama

By
In 2015 May, I became the father of a love-child. DNA testing determined with maximum proof that I indeed was the father of my daughter, delivered by a head-butting casual lover, Miss Sophia Momodu. I met Sophia when I was barely 21 years old. She was many years older than me and was able to manipulate and exploit my youth, naivety and generosity.Sophia is the mother of my daughter, and no more ! She never would be my wife and she was never qualified for that status. Her background is very dissimilar from mine, and she has very paltry education and equally diminished physical attributes. Cunningly, she moved into my house because she claimed she has no place to stay in Lagos and that her father is late and her mother is resident in Abuja. I have accepted what providence brought my way including my own personal indiscretions. But I also have been burdened by the grate lapses in the character of Sophia and have thus suffered for my daughter who I love as much as my late mother, Imade....
