Testifying before the Kano State House of Assembly panel, Ganduje said the video clips released by the publisher of Daily Nigerian, Jaafar Jaafar, were aimed at tarnishing his image politically.
The governor, in the document presented before the committee, denied collecting bribe from the contractor as shown in the video.
Ganduje said he had never been involved in such a bribery incident and would never be.
The governor also called on the public to ignore the allegations as it never happened.
“Such untrue publications was done to the Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammad Sanusi II, and also to the former Governor, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau,” he said in the document.
