A former Governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has on Saturday, said that he resigned from the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, in 2010, due to the rampant corrupt practices in many government Agencies.
He stated that this was as a result of the failure of the Leadership of these Agencies.
Kwankwaso, a former Presidential Aspirant, resigned from the Board of the NDDC in 2010.
He also said that he resigned his appointment, because of official corrupt practices in the Commission, “that he does not want to take part in”.
The former Governor told BBC Hausa, that the rampant corruption in the NDDC, “was due to greed and desperate moves by government Officials to accumulate wealth”.
Kwankwaso added that, “he hates corruption, and would not be a part of it.
“Many times people who sabotage the economy through stealing, nothing is done to them, and they end up being with(in) the government.
“All these happenings in the NDDC, is because the Leaders are not vigilant enough. If the Leaders are responsible and vigilant over the huge amount of money being released, even through borrowing, and which is later embezzled, the government would have prevented this”, the former Governor added.
However, when asked why he could not expose the corrupt activities while in the NDDC, he said that the “corrupt practices there were unprecedented”.
