TimesNow.com.ng reported that on Wednesday, June 5, the Kaduna State House of Assembly’s ad-hoc committee set up to investigate El-Rufai’s administration, submitted its report.
Henry Zacharia, the chairman of the committee that was set up to probe all finances, loans, and contracts awarded during El-Rufai’s administration, gave an account of their findings.
Receiving the report on Wednesday, the Speaker of the assembly, Yusuf Liman, said a total N423 billion was siphoned by the El-Rufaiâs administration while leaving the state with huge liabilities.
The committee recommended the investigation and prosecution of El-Rufai and other indicted officials by security and anti-corruption agencies.
In a swift response, El-Rufai said he is proud of his record in service, Daily Trust reported.
This was contained in a statement issued released by Muyiwa Adekeye, the media aide of the former Kaduna governor, on Wednesday.
El-Rufai expressed his disgust at the show of shame that the State House of Assembly exhibited during the sitting of the adhoc committee.
He urged all and sundry to disregard the so called probe moves as a politically motivated witch hunt which will fail, TVC News reported.
The statement reads:
TimesNow.com.ng reported earlier that Nasir El-Rufai, has reacted to the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi II, as Emir of Kano.
TimesNow.com.ng recalls that Sanusi II was reinstated as Emir of Kano on Friday after members of the state house of assembly abolished the creation of an additional four emirates and deposed all the emirs.
El-Rufai posted a cryptic message on Facebook on Friday, May 24 referring to the reinstatement of his blossom friend. The former governor said they plan and Allah plans also God is the best planner.
