Following the revelation of substantial debt burden inherited from the previous administration of Nasir El-rufai by the Gov. Uba Sani led government in Kaduna, a group, the aegis of Governor Uba Sani Media Forum has reiterated its commitment towards ensuring that El-rufai did not go free without giving account of the alleged N423 billion debt fraud.
Rising from its emergency meeting in Kaduna yesterday, the forum in its six points communique noted that going to court by El-rufai to defend the allegations is an attempt to disrupt the investigation process, as well, a means to distract the public from his corrupt activities while in office.
Recall that El-rufai alongside his aides were accused of diverting public funds to the tune of N423 billion, and money laundering by the state House of Assembly, but the former governor has since taking the matter to court.
Meanwhile, in its communique, the forum said, instead of El-rufai to face the several fraud allegations before him, he is busy criticizing Gov. Uba Sani on waste evacuation.
The communique alleged that 24 private refuse disposal companies were contracted to evacuate refuse daily across the state during El-rufai’s government, with a long term agreement between them and the state, disclosing that the scheme was found to be fraud.
This is just as the communique added that the companies abandoned their mandate shortly after the tenure of El-rufai because of the breach of agreement by El-rufai’s government, which the forum noted that, it was at the detriment of the state.
While thanking the Kaduna residents for their support for the present government in the state, the Chairman of the forum, Engr. Sani Dan-Borno emphasized the zeal and passion of Gov. Uba Sani in uplifting the state and the people.
The communique applauded Uba Sani led administration in the state, especially on his Midas’ touch on education, where within a year, six science schools were built. ” We are also aware of his transformational stride in the agriculture, health and other sectors.”
” To mark his one year in office, Uba Sani, in the scheme tagged ‘A Koma Gona’ (Get Back to Farm), 40, 000 smallholder farmers in 23 local government areas recieved farm inputs, farm implements and aggro-processing equipment,” the communique reads.
