Former Senator Shehu Sani from Kaduna North Central Senatorial Zone recently expressed gratitude to God for revealing the truth about the $350 million loan controversy involving himself and the former governor of the state, Nasiru El-Rufai. Sani recounted how he had warned against the state taking on excessive debt during his time in office, even going as far as blocking access to such loans. He recalled the public insults and curses he received from El-Rufai for his stance on the issue.
In a press conference, Senator Sani emphasized that he had always acted in the best interest of the people of Kaduna, despite facing opposition from the former governor. He confidently stated that time has now shown who truly had the welfare of the state at heart.
The current governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, has been struggling to meet the financial obligations of the state, particularly in paying workers’ salaries, due to the heavy debt burden left behind by El-Rufai. The $350 million debt, which is the second highest in Nigeria after Lagos State, has prompted the Kaduna State House of Assembly to launch an investigation into the matter.
Senator Sani has called for an independent probe into the financial dealings of the previous administration, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability in governance.
The unfolding saga in Kaduna serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of irresponsible financial management and the importance of upholding integrity in public office. As the truth continues to come to light, it is evident that the interests of the people must always take precedence over personal agendas.
