El-Rufai accused of N423bn fraud

The former governor’s denial comes amidst allegations of N423bn theft by the Kaduna State House of Assembly. He has instructed his lawyers to take legal action against those tarnishing his name. A court hearing is set for July 17.

According to The Punch, the Kaduna ex-governor disclosed the plan to return to politics after completing his studies. The former governor said:

“I intend to return to politics in 2027 after completing my studies. There is no retirement in politics. By the will of Allah, we will return and continue serving the people.”

I was accused with evidence – El-Rufai

He further claimed his administration was accused without concrete evidence, and his allies were being targeted by anti-corruption agencies.

The former governor’s denial comes amidst allegations by the Kaduna State House of Assembly that N423bn was stolen or misappropriated under his watch. The Assembly had set up an ad hoc committee to investigate finances, loans, and contracts awarded during El-Rufai’s tenure.
