Following accusations from critics that he sleeps at public functions, Kano State Governor has said that he is not bowing to blackmailers who said he was not working but sleeping, adding that he doesn’t sleep but he only pretends to.

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje stated this during an interactive session with labour unions as part of May Day celebration at the Government House, Kano.‎

The Governor said that his political opponents who had been accusing him of sleeping in most public functions could not differentiate between sleeping and pretending.

He said “My opponents always complain that I sleep at public functions but I want them to try and differentiate between the two. Political blackmail is not an issue to me because I am used to it and will continue to work for the good people of the state.” ‎
