We Are Vindicated By El-rufai’s Probe Revelation – PDP

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State yesterday said reports of the Kaduna State House of Assembly’s investigations on the expenditure of the immediate past administration of Malam Nasir Elrufai had vindicated its position.

A statement issued by the party signed by the state publicity secretary said they had always challenged the government on certain expenses of the El-rufai government.

The PDP therefore called on the governor of the state, Sen. Uba Sani, to, as a matter of transparency and posterity, immediately invite the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related matters Commission (ICPC) to investigate further and recover all the monies allegedly looted by those found guilty and be prosecuted as revealed and recommended by the committee’s report.

It would be recalled that the ad-hoc committee set up to investigate all finances, loans and contracts awarded under the former governor, Mallam el-Rufai, the Kaduna State House of Assembly found him and several of his commissioners and aides wanting and asked that anti-graft agencies probe them.

The House alleged that N423bn of state resources were siphoned under the El-Rufa’i government and asked the incumbent governor to refer the former governor, former commissioners of finance and other indicted aides to relevant security agencies for investigation.
