Kaduna State former governor, Nasir El-Rufai is in hot soup.

The N423 billion fraud allegation against him by the Kaduna State House of Assembly has taken a fresh dimension.

Chairman Fact-Finding Committee and Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Henry Magaji in a statement said:

“The attention of the Kaduna State House of Assembly has been drawn to a press conference addressed by some senior political appointees of the immediate past administration of Malam Nasir El-Rufai.”

“In the press conference, the former political appointees made strenuous efforts to pick holes in the report of the Probe Committee. They resorted to name calling and wild allegations on the motivations for the House Probe. We wish to state as follows:

“The press conference was just a rehash of the vituperations and innuendoes heaped on us by the former political appointees in their first press briefing. There was nothing new that should warrant our response.”

“They failed to address the main issue, which is the systematic and coordinated cornering of the resources of Kaduna State through phoney contracts and outright looting.”
