Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has called for a comprehensive probe of the administration of ex-Governor Nasir El-Rufai, alleging financial impropriety and abuse of office during his tenure.
Addressing a press conference in Kaduna on Saturday, Sani urged security and anti-corruption agencies to investigate what he described as allegations of mismanagement of public funds running into hundreds of billions of naira under the previous government.
He specifically called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to act on the indictment by the Kaduna State House of Assembly and ensure full accountability.
Sani alleged that between 2015 and 2023, Kaduna State witnessed hardship, insecurity, demolitions and human rights violations, insisting that the period represented one of the most difficult eras in the state’s history.
The former lawmaker also questioned El-Rufai’s democratic credentials, citing the arrest and detention of journalists, activists, clerics and community leaders during the administration.
