A coalition of Kaduna-based political groups, the Good Governance and Accountability Forum (GGAF), has slammed former Governor Nasir El-Rufai and his aides for attempting to discredit the Kaduna State House of Assembly’s probe report, which alleged fraud and misappropriation of funds totaling N423 billion during El-Rufai’s administration.
The group described El-Rufai and his aides as “shameless” and “disrespectful” for accusing the Assembly of fabricating figures and bias, without providing evidence to counter the allegations. The GGAF demanded that El-Rufai and his aides provide facts and figures to refute the allegations, and called on anti-graft agencies to investigate and take action.
The group also announced plans to submit a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on the allegations of misappropriation of funds by El-Rufai.
In a press statement, the Coordinator of the Forum, Comrade Muhammad Jibrin, said: “El-Rufai’s administration embezzled over N423 billion, but instead of providing evidence to counter the allegations, they are resorting to cheap blackmail and intimidation. We will not be deterred in our quest for justice and accountability. We demand that El-Rufai and his aides be held accountable for their actions.”
