Former governor of Kano State and ex-Education Minister, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, has dismissed reports that he received N25 million from the alleged N950m campaign fund shared at his residence in Kano before the 2015 general elections. Speaking to the press after his release from the custody of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) in Kano, Shekarau 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 gave 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.” On his arrest and detention by the EFCC, Shekarau said, “I considered my ordeal as a normal thing for it could happened to anybody and it is only up to us to accept this in good faith.”
