Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai expressed his disregard towards the ongoing investigation into his administration by the state House of Assembly.
Recall that in May 29, 2023, Governor Sani lamented over the huge debt inherited from his predecessor, El-Rufai.
Doubting the success of the ongoing investigation, the former governor made certain remarks while celebrating Sallah with his associates in Kaduna State.
He urged them to avoid any form of confrontation with Governor Uba Sani’s aide, predicting that the governor’s behavior would ultimately lead to his downfall, likening it to a fragile candy that would eventually crumble and fall apart, Daily Nigerian reports.
“Support the governor and his cabinet members with prayers for them to do the right thing. Don’t feel hurt with what’s going on. When he is done prancing, he will fall off like candy [in a kid’s hand],” he said.
Sani noted that the state was now left with funds not enough to pay salary.
Recently, the Kaduna State House of Assembly asked Governor Uba to stop repaying all the loans collected by the previous government of El-Rufai, found to have been done without due process.
This is part of the recommendations made by an ad hoc committee set up by the House of Assembly headed by Henry Zacharia.
The committee said, “That, all Loans (Domestic and Foreign) obtained by the Kaduna State Government between 29th May, 2015 to 29th May, 2023 and found by the Committee to have been obtained without due process are not binding on the State and the State Government should henceforth stop honouring all. Limit obligations arising from them.”
