Sani slams El-Rufai over alleged diversion of N150b public funds

Civil rights activist and Ex-lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central Zone in the defunct 8th Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani, has again lampooned former governor Nasir El-Rufai for accusing the incumbent Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, of collecting N150 billion undisclosed loan.

Specifically, Sani criticized El-Rufai for committing the worst financial and tyrannical offences while in office as governor of Kaduna State.

In a Facebook comment on his page on Wednesday, the former lawmaker said that El-Rufai defied moral obligation and sanity in receiving billions from Muhammadu Buhari’s government with nothing to show for it under his eight-year administration.

According to him, “the Ex-Governor of Kaduna State accused the Present Governor of Collecting ‘N150 Billion’ from Tinubu and refusing to disclose it to the people of the state; let’s recall history and find the answers”.

“He collected Billions of Excess Crude funds from Buhari and never disclosed it to the Kaduna public. He collected Billions in Ecological funds from BUHARI and never disclosed it to the Kaduna People,” Sani said.

“He collected billions of special grants from Buhari through the CBN and never disclosed it to the Kaduna public. He collected stamp duties in Billions from Buhari and never disclosed it to the people of the state.

“He collected billions from a commercial bank and mortgage the state IGR and never disclosed it to the Kaduna people.”

According to Senator Sani, “There is nobody in Kaduna State who can confidently hold his Holy Book and swear that he or she knows how every kobo of the Kaduna’s $350 million World Bank loans was spent; Until the Kaduna Assembly probe.

“If the present governor actually refused to disclose the mythical ‘150 billion’, he must have learned it from the ex-governor. The ex-Governor is coming to equity with dirty hands. If the present governor is supporting Tinubu because of money, can we say that the former one was supporting and kneeling down for Buhari for the same reason?”
