El-Rufai’s Curse and Insults: Shehu Sani’s Battle for Kaduna’s Financial Future

A fierce battle has emerged between two prominent figures: former Senator Shehu Sani and the ex-governor of Kaduna State, Nasiru El-Rufai.

The latest chapter in this saga involves a $350 million loan that has left the state in financial turmoil, with Governor Uba Sani now grappling with the consequences.

Shehu Sani, once a vocal critic of El-Rufai’s administration, recently revealed that he had been publicly insulted and cursed by the former governor for his efforts to block access to loans that would have placed the state under immense financial strain.

In a recent interview, the former Senator expressed his gratitude for the truth finally coming to light, as current officials condemn the past administration’s mismanagement of funds and the accumulation of massive debt.

“I told him then that time will reveal who truly loves the people of Kaduna between myself and him,” said Sani, referring to the heated exchanges between himself and El-Rufai over the loan issue.

The ex-governor’s administration had fought tooth and nail to secure the loans, disregarding the warnings of financial catastrophe from the Senator.

Now, as Governor Uba Sani struggles to navigate the financial crisis left behind by his predecessor, it is clear that Shehu Sani’s concerns were not unfounded.

The state’s inability to pay workers’ salaries, coupled with the second-highest debt burden in Nigeria after Lagos State, paints a grim picture of the fiscal mismanagement that has plagued Kaduna.

In a twist of irony, the very loans that El-Rufai’s administration had so vehemently pursued are now the root of the state’s financial woes.

As the dust settles, it remains to be seen how Governor Uba Sani will address the debt crisis and steer Kaduna towards a more stable and prosperous future.

The ongoing saga between El-Rufai and Shehu Sani serves as a cautionary tale for political leaders across Nigeria and beyond.

It highlights the importance of responsible financial management and the potential consequences of ignoring the warning signs of debt.

As the battle for Kaduna’s financial future rages on, only time will tell if Governor Uba Sani can right the wrongs of his predecessor and restore the state to fiscal stability.
