Senator Shehu Sani has responded sharply to the recent allegations made by former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, against the current governor, Uba Sani.
El-Rufai had accused Uba Sani of sycophancy toward President Bola Tinubu and of unduly receiving N150 billion in grants and interventions from the federal government.
In a post on his verified Facebook account on Wednesday, Sani criticized el-Rufai, claiming that the former governor was “coming to equity with dirty hands.”
Sani suggested that history should be revisited in order to understand the full context of the allegations and to shed light on past actions that may explain the current political dynamics.
The human rights activist turned politician wrote: “The Ex Governor collected millions of Dollars Paris Refund from President Buhari and never disclosed it to the people of the state. He collected Billions of Excess Crude funds from Buhari and never disclosed it to the Kaduna public.
“He collected Billions in Ecological funds from Buhari and never disclosed it to the Kaduna People. He collected Billions of special grants from Buhari through the CBN and never disclosed it to the Kaduna public and also collected stamp duties in Billions from Buhari and never disclosed it to the people of the state.”
The former lawmaker also accused el-Rufai of collecting billions of Naira from a commercial bank and allegedly mortgaged the state.
The Senator further averred that, “There is nobody in Kaduna state who can confidently hold his Holy Book and swear that he or she knows how every kobo of the Kaduna’s $350 million World Bank loans was spent;Until the Kaduna Assembly probe.”
He stated, “If the present Governor actually refused to disclose the mythical “150 billion”,he must have learned it from the Ex Governor.The ex Governor is coming to equity with dirty hands. If the Present Governor is supporting Tinubu because of money, can we say that the former one was supporting and kneeling down for Buhari for same reason.
“The man with a body odour is accusing another having a mouth odour. The ex Governor also accused the present Governor of betrayal. Its simply a case of the Legend of betrayal being outsmarted by the grand guru.”
