Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai refutes allegations of financial mismanagement totaling N423 billion during his tenure, dismissing them as politically motivated. Accusing the Kaduna State House of Assembly of bias, El-Rufai vows to contest the claims vigorously.

Nasir El-Rufai, the immediate past governor of Kaduna State, has adamantly refuted accusations of financial mismanagement totaling N423 billion during his tenure. In a scathing response to the Kaduna State House of Assembly's adoption of an ad-hoc committee report implicating him, El-Rufai's spokesperson, Muyiwa Adekeye, condemned the probe as "jaundiced" and preconceived.

El-Rufai challenges the integrity of the investigation, alleging a lack of fairness and transparency in the process. While the Assembly demands his prosecution, El-Rufai asserts his commitment to governance integrity and vows to vigorously contest the allegations.

The controversy underscores growing political tensions within Kaduna's corridors of power, raising questions about the credibility of the state's legislative oversight.
