Kaduna Assembly Unwavering in Probe of El-Rufai’s Tenure Amidst Threats from Son

The Kaduna Assembly has firmly declared its unwavering stance in investigating the financial dealings, loans, grants, and project implementation during the tenure of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai from 2015-2023.

This comes in the wake of threats and intimidation by Bello El-Rufai, the son of the ex-governor and a federal lawmaker representing the Kaduna North Federal Constituency.

In a bold move, the state assembly has set up a committee to probe the financial activities of the past administration.

This decision was met with resistance from Bello El-Rufai, who took to social media and even sent threatening messages to the Kaduna Assembly Speaker, Yusuf Liman, via WhatsApp.

The now-deleted X posts and messages have sparked widespread concern among the citizens of Kaduna State.

The Speaker of the Kaduna Assembly, Yusuf Liman, has issued a statement, assuring the public of the Assembly’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring accountability in the state.

He emphasized that the Assembly will not be deterred by threats and intimidation from anyone, including federal lawmakers.

This development has raised questions about the integrity of public office holders and the importance of checks and balances in governance.

It also highlights the growing trend of political figures using social media to express their opinions, sometimes crossing the line into inappropriate behavior.

In response to the threats, the Kaduna Assembly has urged the people of the state to remain vigilant and steadfast in their support for transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.

The Assembly has emphasized its commitment to serving the best interests of the state and its citizens, and it remains resolute in its mandate to provide checks and balances and uphold the rule of law in Kaduna State.

As the investigation into the financial dealings of the El-Rufai administration continues, the public eagerly awaits the outcome and the potential implications for the political landscape in Kaduna State.
