The former governor who is one of the strong pillars of the All Progressives Congress (APC) also noted that at no time was he placed under house arrest, or that he was afraid to come out of his house for fear of being arrested as insinuated in the media.

A statement signed by Muhammed Inuwa Ali, his Principal Private Secretary said, “The attention of Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, representing Kano Central Senatorial District was drawn by some of his political supporters in Kano regarding a libelous and unfounded petition against his person at EFCC by his political opponents sometime in May, 2015.

“The supporters sought the Senator’s permission to institute legal action against the said petitioners to which he consented. “However, to the Senator’s surprise, the supporters and their lawyers instituted an action against the EFCC.

“Conversely, Senator Kwankwaso has instructed his supporters and their lawyers to discontinue the matter against the EFCC with immediate effect, while the unfounded libelous case against his person will continue.

“To set the records straight, Senator Kwankwaso was not invited by the EFCC, nor was he ever placed under house arrest or prevented from discharging his legislative or personal duties by any agency.

“As a Distinguished legislator, he is ever willing and ready to support and strengthen our anti-graft agencies in the fight against corruption in Nigeria”.
