EXPOSED: Days After El- Rufai Willingly Retired From Politics, His Successor Fearlessly Reveals Shocking Secret, See Details
Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has urged the Kaduna State government to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the administration of ex- governor Nasir El- Rufai, particularly regarding the state’ s significant debt burden. Governor Uba Sani recently disclosed inheriting a substantial debt amounting to $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual obligations from El- Rufai’ s tenure, leading to challenges in meeting financial obligations such as workers’ salaries.
Sani, in a post on X, emphasized the need for an independent probe panel, led by a professional accountant or auditor, to investigate the actions of former government officials and their associated contractors. The objective of such an inquiry would be to scrutinize the handling of substantial funds, including a $350 million loan, to ascertain if there were any misappropriations or thefts.
” The looting of Kaduna State cannot be remedied by revelations alone but by courageously constituting a probe panel. . . to account for the millions in dollars and billions in Naira that were misused or outrightly stolen, ” Sani stated.
Governor Uba Sani had previously revealed during a town hall meeting that the enormous debt profile inherited from the El- Rufai administration had made it challenging to pay workers’ salaries. The governor reiterated that he inherited a debt burden of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual liabilities from his predecessor.
As the Kaduna government grapples with the financial fallout from the previous administration, calls for accountability and transparency in managing public funds continue to resonate. Sani’ s advocacy for a thorough investigation underscores the importance of addressing governance lapses and ensuring fiscal responsibility to safeguard the state’ s financial stability and promote public trust.
Ultimately, Shehu Sani’ s advocacy for accountability and transparency in managing Kaduna’ s finances reflects a broader commitment to good governance and responsible stewardship of public resources. As the state navigates the challenges posed by its debt burden, proactive measures to address governance lapses and strengthen financial management practices will be critical to securing a sustainable and prosperous future for all citizens.
