Shehu Sani also noted that while the El-Rufai-led govt left estates and malls for their children, they incurred debt for poor masses

Human rights activist and former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has alleged the Nasir El-Rufai-led government left behind estates and malls for their children but incurred a huge debt for the children of the poor in Kaduna State.
The former senator made this known via his X handle on Thursday, while reacting to the adoption of a report by an ad-hoc committee of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, which also demanded the probe of El-Rufai’s 8 years in office.
According to the report, most of the loans obtained by the former governor were not used for the purpose for which they were obtained, while in some instances, due process was not followed in securing the loans.
Responding to the allegations, El-Rufai insisted he led a government of integrity and competence during his tenure as a governor and described the report as a “politically motivated hatchet job.”

However, while reacting to his reply, Shehu Sani said the former governor does not know what “serving with integrity” means.
He went on to commend the Kaduna State lawmakers and urged anti-graft agencies to commence the recovery of the stolen money from those he described as “leeches and vultures”
He tweeted: “‘The Kaduna Assembly has done a good job. I wish to congratulate them.The next step is to ensure the recovery of our stolen money from those leeches and vultures. Kaduna state was simply plundered by fraudulent technocrats, thieving consultants and contractors domiciled in Sir Kashim Ibrahim House. For anyone who cared to go through that published report, I don’t know what “serving with integrity means”. Kaduna was a victim of two types of Banditry; the one in our forests and the one in the Government house. They left behind estates and malls for their children and left behind a mountain of debt for the children of the poor.”
