Assembly Urge Stakeholders
To Testify Against El-Rufai.
Kaduna
State House of Assembly have summoned both serving and former commissioners,
administrators as well as contractors, to testify before its ad-hoc committee
set up to investigate the 8-years administration of immediate-past governor of
the state, Malam Nasir El-Rufai.
The development was in connection to the state
Assembly’s probe of all finances, loans and contract projects awarded under the
El-Rufai administration.
The probe by the state Assembly comes weeks
after the incumbent Governor of Kaduna State, UbaSani, lamented that El-Rufai
left him a huge debt profile.
Sani, who spoke during a town hall meeting in
Kaduna, said he inherited a lean treasury, adding that he could not pay
workers’ salaries.
The Chairman of the Committee, Henry Danjuma,
representing the Kagarko constituency, said, the committee deemed it fit to
summon both present and former officials of government just to assist the
committee in carrying out its mandate of unravelling the circumstance(s)
surrounding loans, contractual obligations under the governor El-Rufai’s
administration.
