Rotimi Agbana With Agency ReportThe outgoing Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-rufai has pointedly told the former governors in the state to swear with the Holy Qur’an that they did not steal public funds while in office.
El-rufai stirred the hornet’s nest in his valedictory media chat on the Hausa Service of the Kaduna State Media Corporation . According to El-rufai, one of the former governors built a mansion on Jabi Road, Kaduna GRA, allegedly with stolen money. He said, “Let the past governors face the people of Kaduna State and swear with the Holy Qur’an that they never stole from the government coffers. I can swear I never stole a Kobo from the government coffers.
“I am happy with what we have seen. The work we have started and the quality of the works, we are going to spend years enjoying them,” he said.All rights reserved.
