El-Rufai Threatens To Expose Ex-Governors Who Looted Kaduna Treasury

The governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai has threatened former governors of the state.

Speaking in a Hausa programme on the Kaduna State Media Corporation (KSMC), El-Rufai said he did not loot Kaduna treasury to buy a house in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) just like some other governors did.

While stating that he had one house in Unguwan Sarki when he became governor and that is the only house he still has, the Kaduna governor said some ex governors allegedly left a big hole in the accounts of the state treasury.

He warned that if the former governors continue to attack him, he would reveal to the world how they looted Kaduna money and ferried some to UAE and other metropolitan capitals of Europe and America where they allegedly acquired properties.

El-Rufai said, “One of the former governors was allegedly complicit in a missing N500 million contract to reconstruct the popular Waff Road, as nothing was done on the road until I came as governor and turned the road into a dual carriageway. They looted the money, and now the person they gave the Waff Road contract is dead.

“I challenge anybody who has knowledge of our government collecting 10 per cent commission from contractors, but these people were collecting that commission. I am a Quantity Surveyor, I know the quality of work they have done.”
