The former Governor of Kano State and Education Minister, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau has denied receiving the sum of N25m from the alleged N950m campaign fund shared at his residence in Kano before the 2015 general elections in Nigeria.
Mallam Shekarau who spoke to the press after his release from the custody of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Kano said he is ready to defend himself before any judicial body or court of law.
He explained that somebody mentioned his name among top members of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who were given N25m each to campaign for the former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
He said he challenged the person that indicted him before the EFCC operatives to prove the allegation that he collected the money.
He said “I told the EFCC that even if it is one naira that I was accused of collecting, I will not pay until it is proved. Whoever gives me the money should come out and explain where, when and how he gave it to me and anything short of that, I am ready to stay with the EFCC for years until the allegation is proved.”
He said the operatives have searched his house and could not find anything incriminating against him, adding that they have collected his account number for further investigation.
Shekarau said he is ever ready for any investigation and would not mind if the EFCC can trace his financial transactions of 20 years back.
He said he was not above mistake, but he was ready to face any investigation and where found wanting he will defend himself. He said as a politician, the development will turn to blessing to him and his followers, saying this is not a new thing in politics.
The former governor therefore called on his followers to remain calm, noting that as a believer, he must accept destiny be it good or bad. The former governor and top members of PDP in Kano are being investigated over N950m shared at his residence for the 2015 electoral campaigns.

If you now say it is Campaign fund that is being investigated it shows how illiterate you are.And that is why politicians takes advantage of foolish people like you
Mr Olujinmi, thank for your comment that only the corrupt support corruption. That Shekaru denies receiving N25M out of the canpaign money “shared in his residence at Kano. Even if one presumes the innocence of corrupt inrichment out of that sum, but he admited providing a conducive environment for sharing public funds. I am not a lawyer, but I cannot belief the law would exornerate him from those charges because he is already an accomplice to those crimes.
apc should tell us d source of there funds.
animals
Elijah,stop harassing mark.He has the right to ask questions.How does his question amount to supporting corruption you evil spirit speaking through Ejijah?Out in Jesus Name!
Amen
EFCC have not yet entered the second stanza of drilling. When they get there he will sing serious sweet songs like metu on his way to Kuje city of eternal life.
So, to you, there is no way by which he could be innocent? He must be guilty at all costs. Interesting
A thief can never go free. He is going to face the consequences afterall he has agreed to having the knowledge of the deal.@sola
having knowledge of campaign fund not arm deal money
So the government can allow them to go free without refunding wat was illegally taken from the treasury? @Sunday.
Sola Adeyanju if you like his face you can only see a moron and imbecile.

What do people use in politics, grass?
Efcc my foot, buhari men are innocent abi… Stupid men
Only a Dustman will carry shit to his house !
Ole barawo
From what Shekarau said, I can safely infer that he was not part of the sharing therefore can only be charged as an accomplice for providing the conducive environment for the accountants.
Accomplice how, he was told campaign fund and not arms deal money or how was he suppose to know the source of the money?
But now the he knew Nkoh . Let him Clear the air in the court.
Make the idiots leave PDP alone , no be person tell them make them fuck-up 7up for PDP may PDP live long

But hw comes de money was shared in his house ? De basterd is a thief and should be executed
Shekarau should tell NIGERIANS
how much he collected 4 d campaign,or is it that he didn’t collect anything at all?
Ok, but how much have you collected? It’s impossible to shared almost one billion inside your inner room without partaking, its only mumu would accept that you collect nothing, since you denied 25m then how much have you collected?
Barawo
Karya kare, Duna! Return the money now! Your share is far more than that! You are shamelessly corrupt and greedy!
Who is probing Apc campaign fund, if I may ask?
