Former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has alleged that the
past government under Nasir El-Rufai, left behind estates and malls for their
children, while leaving behind a mountain of debt for the children of the poor
in Kaduna State.
The statement comes amid the adoption of a report by an
ad-hoc committee of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, demanding to probe his
governance of the state from May 2015 to May 2023.
According to the report, most of the loans obtained under
the El-Rufai’s administration were not used for the purpose for which they were
obtained, while in some cases, due process was not followed in securing the
loans.
But the former governor responded insisting he led a
government of integrity and competence during his eight-year administration.
El-Rufai said the report was a “politically motivated
hatchet job”, insisting he served with integrity.
However, Sani, in a post on his X handle on Thursday, said
he did not know what “serving with integrity means”.
He suggested that the next step is to ensure the recovery of
the stolen money from the leeches and vultures.
“‘The Kaduna Assembly has done a good job. I wish to
congratulate them.The next step is to ensure the recovery of our stolen money
from those leeches and vultures. Kaduna state was simply plundered by
fraudulent technocrats, thieving consultants and contractors domiciled in Sir
Kashim Ibrahim House. For anyone who cared to go through that published report,
I don’t know what “serving with integrity means”. Kaduna was a victim of two
types of Banditry; the one in our forests and the one in the Government
house.They left behind estates and malls for their children and left behind a
mountain of debt for the children of the poor,” Sani said.
