The immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has filed a lawsuit against the Kaduna State House of Assembly over findings from the N432 billion investigation.
El-Rufai’s son, Bello, disclosed that his father filed the suit to challenge the defamation of his character by the state assembly.
Posting on X, Bello wrote: “Mallam Nasir El-Rufai filed a lawsuit against the Kaduna State House of Assembly today for defamation of his character, among other spurious, unfounded allegations leveled against his person. I advise they start compiling legal fees to defend their lies in court.”
Recall that El-Rufai’s administration was indicted to the tune of N423 billion.
On March 30th, 2024, Governor Uba Sani revealed during a town hall meeting that the state faced a substantial debt burden of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual liabilities inherited from the previous administration.
Sani had said the debt burden led to over 70% of the state’s allocation being used to service the inherited debt.
Following this, the Kaduna State House of Assembly formed an ad-hoc committee to investigate the state’s financial transactions from May 29, 2015, to May 29, 2023.
