Kano state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje has drawn attention to himself after a video of him allegedly taking bribe surfaced online.
According to Daily Nigerian, who released the video, the governor personally receives from 15 to 25 percent kickbacks for every project executed in the state.
The act came to light after one of the contractors, in a sting operation to capture the governor on camera, which began two years ago, agreed with Daily Nigerian request, to plant spy camera on his kaftan lapel while offering the bribe.
The video which has been viewed by thousands of Nigerians, has them calling for the resignation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governor.
See some epic reactions below
I would say Governor Ganduje should resign if he has some dignity but then I would be pretending that I didn’t watch the video. Irrespective what is yet to be proven by that video, one thing is clear; that man has zero dignity. So he should be impeached. He is a disgrace!

One of the contractors who preferred not to be named said the reason he collaborated with DAILY NIGERIAN on the #GandujeGate saga was to expose corruption and bring sanity to the country
This is amazing, contractors should be patriotic in their transactions in the country

I want to do a thread on Buharists intellectuals and APC vuvuzelas who are avoiding that #GandujeGate video like a plague. Go to their page, they are no longer talking about corruption. Over 1.9m Kano votes are at risk. They are rattled. Aso Rock on panic mode. Should I?

The man with the dollars ordered the governor to stand up and collect the dollars. True true like say na juju, the guy actually stood up o. That guy, zero dignity. He is a big disgrace.

Buharist were all out attacking Atiku for allegedly sharing dollars to delegates. The same set of people are now saying #Gandujegate video is no proof of wrong doing as there is no audio.
