Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf that more than 70 percent of the land that falls within the Kano Polytechnic is owned by Prof. Hafta Ganduje, wife of the former Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, and her children, as falsehood.
Recall that Gov. Yusuf had on Sunday claimed that more than 70 percent of the land in question is owned by Ganduje’s wife, Prof. Hafsat Ganduje, and her children. Speaking to newsmen on behalf of the affected community on Monday, the Salanta Community leader, Alhaji Ayuba Sani described the Governor’s claim as “falsehood”, saying, “most of the owners of the land in the area resided inside the community and they all have their Certificates of Occupancy and building permit from the Kano State Urban Planning and Development Authority.”
Sani stressed that the affected residents whose houses were earmarked for demolition by the government are eager to present their documents of ownership to prove their claim. “We’ve occupied the land since time immemorial when the place was not habitable. We bought it from the allottees who were allocated the land by the governor directly. We know ourselves, and if the governor wants to see us, we are ready to see him and prove our case,” Sani noted.
