Kano APC Has Called Tinubu To Arrest Me For Informing Northerners – Satirist Dan Bello

Bello Galandanchi, popularly known as Dan Bello through his satirist skitmaking, has responded to the Kano Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) call for his arrest following an exposé on public funds theft in the state.

The 3-minute satirical yet educative clip released on Sunday includes pictures of documents and receipts where Bello claimed former Kano commissioner Murtala Sule Garo stole ₦10 billion of public funds, linking him to the crime.

APC in Kano has called on Tulumbu to arrest me for inciting violence. But… What did APC do in Kano? Stealing! High-level theft,” Bello stated.

“For example, this is APC Kano’s deputy governorship candidate, Murtala Sule Garo. He was the commissioner for local governments when Dollar Bandit (Abdullahi Umar Ganduje) was governor. On another note, this APC leader owns two companies. One opened with his name, MJ Multipurpose Services. And another with his relative’s name called AU Future Investment Limited.

“Murtala APC Kano made it mandatory for every local government to pay more than N5 million monthly. These funds would be used to buy diesel for Kano’s water treatment plants; ₦5 million × 44 local governments is ₦228 million monthly. So, does he purchase the diesel?”

Remember MJ and AU? They will write to the Ministry of Local Government requesting payments of funds for delivering diesel. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Who owns MJ and AU, and who is the commissioner? Murtala APC Kano,” Bello questioned in his video.

“Murtala APC is writing to Murtala APC requesting funds to deliver ‘diesel’. He is paying himself. What’s next for this able Kano APC leader? Send himself money from government coffers to his bank accounts for MJ and AU.”

Bello narrated how Garo failed to use ₦10 billion to serve his people in Kano.

“Garo diverted the funds to bureau de change companies, converted the naira to Saudi riyal and paid for real estate overseas,” he said, adding that Garo moved the funds from his AU and MJ companies to BDCs Muftahi Sani and NNM Fagge.

These are Bureau de Change companies in Wapa, Kano. They will then change the money to Riyal and wire it to a company called Naxt Vision in Makkah,” Bello added.

“Isn’t Makkah a holy and spiritual place? But APC Kano is turning this sacred city into a place to take our stolen money. Naxt Vision is a real estate company. Little by little, to avoid suspicion, Murtala APC Kano wired ₦10 billion to Naxt Vision.

“How much is N10 billion? N1 billion is one thousand one million. So, ₦10 billion is 10 × a thousand million; ₦10 billion will buy 133,000 bags of rice. It could build 50 primary schools at ₦200 million per school. This money will pay hospital bills for 500,000 people at ₦20,000 per person.

“But what did Murtala APC Kano do with that money? He purchased a suite at the Hilton Hotels in Makkah City. He can live there and rent it out. You can see the Ka’abah from the hotel. Oh my goodness!

“This is just one commissioner of many in APC Kano. Don’t forget their dollar-stashing bandit and beard-painting deputy. So, are you still calling for my arrest?”

Meanwhile, Lamin Sani, Muhammad Takai, Garo and Ganduje, appointed as the National Chairman of the ruling APC following the resignation of Abdullahi Adamu in 2023, were involved in a recent N57.4 billion fraud case.
