A former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone, Shehu Sani has thanked the Almighty God for revealing the truth between himself and the immediate past governor of the state, Nasir el-Rufai on the $350 million loan.
Addressing newsmen recently, the Senator explained that he did all he could to stop the immediate past governor from placing the state in undue indebtedness.
He revealed that el-Rufai had insulted and cursed him publicly for that to the extent that he told him that time would reveal who actually truly loves the people of Kaduna State.
He explained, “What more would I tell them? I have said all I needed to say. While in office, I warned the Kaduna State Government against taking loans and even blocked access to such loans.”
He added, “Former Governor Nasir el-Rufai fought me on this, insulted me because of this and even cursed me. I told him then that time would reveal who truly loves the people of Kaduna between myself and him.
“Today he is no more in power and those he put in place are now condemning his funds misappropriation as well as the loans they secured.”
Shehu Sani thanked and praised the Almighty God for clearing him.
The Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani had complained of his inability to pay workers salaries due to the debt burden of $350 million, second only to Lagos state in Nigeria, left behind by his predecessor Nasiru el-Rufai.
The Kaduna State House of Assembly has since initiated a probe into the funds misappropriation by the Nasir el-Rufai-led administration.
Sani had called for an independent probe of the former state administration as well as the contractors by auditors and accountants in order to reveal the truth about the funds misappropriation by the el-Rufai led administration.
