The immediate past governor of the northwest state made the comment at a Sallah gathering with his associates on Tuesday, June 18.
According to the Guardian, El-Rufai also advised him to refrain from engaging in a war of words with the governorâs aide, predicting that Mr Sani, after jumping up and down, would eventually fall off like candy.
He said:
This is the first time the former governor has publicly commented since the crisis ensued between him and his successor.
The Kaduna State House of Assembly’s ad-hoc committee set up to investigate the administration of El-Rufai recently submitted its report to the house.
Henry Zacharia, the chairman of the committee set up to probe all finances, loans, and contracts awarded during El-Rufai’s administration, gave an account of their findings on Wednesday, June 5.
According to Zacharia, most of the loans El-Rufai’s administration obtained were used for purposes other than those for which they were obtained. He added that in other cases, due processes were not followed.
Speaking after receiving the report, Yusuf Liman, the speaker of the Kaduna state assembly, stated that a total of N423 billion was diverted by the previous administration, while leaving the state in a huge debt.
