Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai on Monday said unlike what happened under his watch, his successor, Gov Uba Sani now collects bribes from contractors before awarding contracts.
He made the weighty allegation while featuring on a programme on Freedom Radio Kaduna.
According to the ex-governor, Gov Sani collects 40 percent as kickback from contractors before awarding contracts to them.
El-Rufai, who recently defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Social Democratic Party (SPD) also denied receiving bribes from contractors during his tenure.

Speaking during the interview, the former governor said: “I have never stolen a kobo from anyone. If any contractor has given me a bribe, let him come forward.
“When the ICPC invited many contractors, they testified that they had never met me. Contracts worth billions were executed without me ever meeting the contractors—I worked only through commissioners and permanent secretaries.
“Uba goes to Abuja with contract documents, offering them to contractors in exchange for a 40 per cent kickback. We know what is happening.
“They assumed that was how we ran the government, but they are wrong.”
