Kano governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has appeared in another video clip allegedly receiving a bribe.
The first video was released to the public on Sunday.
The money was part of tranches received amounting to about $5million from contractors in the state.
Contractors told DAILY NIGERIAN that the governor personally receives from 15 to 25 percent kickbacks for every project executed in the state.
The sting operation to capture the governor on camera began two years ago when one of the contractors agreed to plant spy camera on his kaftan lapel while offering the bribe.
During about 10 months efforts to capture the bribe giving/taking scenes, the governor’s face and body were clearly captured in nine clips, while six others did not clearly reveal the governor’s face.
About $5m dollars were delivered to the governor in all.
One of the contractors who preferred not to be named said the reason he released the footage is to expose corruption and bring sanity to the country.
“If my aim is to blackmail or extort the governor, I would have used the videos, get over a billion settlement or force the governor to pay the hundreds of millions of naira the state is owing my company or force him to pay back all the money I paid him as kickbacks,” he said.
“We believe if public office holders are exposed, there will be sanity in the system even if I will not be the beneficiary in future.”
