Kaduna’s Political Soap Opera: A Family Feud?
Kaduna State is buzzing with drama as a prominent lawmaker, Bello El-rufai, is making a public plea. He’s asking the current Governor, Uba Sani, and his own father, the former Governor Nasir El-rufai, to end their ongoing feud. Seems like things are getting heated in the political arena!
Why the Beef? Debt and Drama Unfold
So, what’s causing all this wahala? Governor Uba Sani has been vocal about the massive debt allegedly left behind by the El-Rufai administration. He claims the state is struggling to even pay worker salaries with the current financial situation.
According to official sources, the debt is so huge that the Kaduna State House of Assembly launched an investigation into alleged irregularities in borrowing and disbursement of a staggering N423 billion. This is serious money we are talking about!
Officials Under Fire: Who’s Feeling the Heat?
The drama doesn’t stop there! The investigation has led to some former officials of the El-rufai administration being questioned and even remanded. Samuel Aruwan, the former Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs, reportedly ended up in the hospital after being nabbed by an anti-graft agency. Another female commissioner is also said to be on the run.
El-rufai, however, is not taking these allegations lying down. He has denied any wrongdoing and has filed a lawsuit in court to clear his name.
Bello El-rufai’s Plea: Can Peace Prevail?
Caught in the middle of all this is Bello El-rufai, who represents Kaduna North in the House of Representatives. He’s in a tricky position, with his father being his role model and Senator Uba Sani being his boss. He expressed his displeasure with the situation, stating that he desires peace above all else.
Speaking to BBC Hausa Service, Bello emphasized that seeing his father and his successor in conflict is not a good look. He likened the situation to life’s unpredictable nature, noting that relationships can change, but friendships shouldn’t be abandoned because of disagreements.
The Bigger Picture: What’s at Stake for Kaduna?
This political drama is more than just a personal feud. It has significant implications for the governance and development of Kaduna State. The ongoing investigations and legal battles could distract from important issues such as infrastructure development, job creation, and social welfare.
What Happens Next?
