*Says standing against state request for Senate to approve world bank loan was noble
By; AMOS TAUNA, Kaduna
Senator Shehu Sani has said that the report of the Kaduna State House of Assembly indicting former governor Nasir el-Rufai of financial abuse is a vindication of standing against the state request to the Senate to approve the World Bank loan of $350 million.
Sani, while reacting in a tweet on his X handle @ShehuSani on Wednesday, noted that he stood alone against Kaduna State Government’s request to the Senate to approve the World Bank loan of $350 million.
According to him, “the state was systematically being looted by the governor and the criminal gang around him.”
He added, “For eight years, I stood alone telling the people of Kaduna State and the country how our state was systematically looted by the governor and the criminal gang around him.”
He lamented that the people inside and outside the state were deceived with aesthetics and industrial scale propaganda.
Shehu Sani said that they wrecked the economy of the state, enriched themselves and their families, destroyed the lives and livelihood of millions of people and used religion to divide the state.
“I was persecuted and many attempts were made on my life and that of my supporters,” he stressed.
He explained that many politicians in the state were silenced out of fear of arrest, attacks by thugs or having their properties confiscated or demolished.
According to Shehu Sani, “I refused to be silenced.”
