Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani is calling for accountability in the state’s financial management, specifically targeting ex-governor Nasir El-Rufai and others responsible for the massive debt burden. Governor Uba Sani has revealed that he inherited a staggering debt of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual liabilities from the previous administration, making it challenging to meet essential obligations like paying workers’ salaries.
At a recent Town Hall meeting in Kaduna, Governor Uba Sani expressed the urgent need for an independent probe panel to investigate the mismanagement of funds under the El-Rufai administration. Shehu Sani echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that mere revelations of corruption are not enough to address the deep-rooted issues plaguing Kaduna State. He called for a thorough investigation led by a qualified accountant or auditor to hold former government officials and their associates accountable for the misuse and embezzlement of public funds, including a controversial $350 million loan.
In a passionate plea for transparency and justice, Shehu Sani highlighted the critical juncture at which Kaduna State finds itself, emphasizing the importance of uncovering the truth and holding those responsible for financial mismanagement to account. The call for a comprehensive probe signals a commitment to restoring integrity and fiscal responsibility in the state’s governance, setting the stage for a new era of accountability and transparency.
As Kaduna State grapples with the repercussions of past financial mismanagement, the push for a thorough investigation serves as a beacon of hope for residents and stakeholders alike. By shining a light on the truth and demanding accountability, Shehu Sani and Governor Uba Sani are taking a bold step towards rebuilding trust and ensuring a brighter future for Kaduna State.
