El-Rufai, others ‘mismanaged N423b,’- Kaduna Assembly

Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai and his aides blew N423 billion in eight years, the State House of Assembly alleged yesterday.

It urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to probe the former governor and his appointees for unauthorised cash withdrawals in dollar and naira.

It alleged receipt of loans without and withdrawals from accounts without following due process.

But the ex-governor described the report as “jaundiced and politically-motivated”, promising to “respond roboustly” after getting the full report.

The House received the report of the ad hoc committee set up to investigate all finances, loans and contracts awarded by the former governor.

The report indicted El-Rufai and many of his commissioners and aides.

The House alleged that N423 billion of the state resources was siphoned under El-Rufa’i.

It mandated Governor Uba Sani to refer the former governor and others indicted aides to relevant security agencies for investigation.

Chairman of the ad-hoc committee and Deputy Speaker, Henry Magaji Danjuma, presented the report during plenary yesterday.
