The senator told reporters that under the former governor’s administration, he made a concerted effort to prevent the state from taking on excessive debt. Sani emphasized that he had warned people repeatedly not to take out loans and that he had taken steps to restrict access to such funds while he was in office. He disclosed how Nasiru El-Rufai, the previous governor, disregarded his worries and even cursed and spoke obscenities at him. He also talked about running across El-Rufai’s resistance and personal assaults.
In his words, he said; “What more would I tell them? I have said all I needed to say. While in office I warned the Kaduna State government against taking loans and even blocked access to such loans.
“Former Governor Nasiru El-Rufai fought me on this, insulted me because of this and even cursed me. I told him then that time will reveal who truly loves the people of Kaduna between myself and him.
The senator remained firm in his position, saying that time would tell who genuinely put the wellbeing of the Kaduna people first. Sani emphasised the irony of his successors denouncing the purported theft of funds and the buildup of loans that were obtained under El-Rufai’s government, given that the former governor is no longer in office.
“Today he is no longer in power and those he put in place are now condemning his funds’ misappropriation, as well as the loans they secured.” Shehu Sani stated.
The disclosure made by Senator Sani clarifies the current discussion in Kaduna State over budgetary responsibility and governance. His comments have called into question the accountability and openness of the handling of public finances and prompted more investigation into the financial choices made by the previous administration.
