Kaduna: Uba Sani tackles El-Rufai
The governor disclosed that his administration inherited a debt of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual liabilities from his predecessor, Daily Nigerian reported.
However, the women leader of the APC in the state expressed strong opposition to the governor’s remark, describing him as treacherous, saying that El-Rufai did everything to secure his victory in the 2023 elections.
Her statement reads in part:
“If you say there is no money in Kaduna State, why don’t you resign? Notwithstanding the huge debt burden, he ran from pillar to post, trying to get the party’s governorship ticket from Mallam (El-Rufai)”
Why APC suspended women leader
However, in a letter signed by the APC Kaduna state chairman and secretary, Ali Maishago and Zakka Bassahuwa, the women leader was suspended for allegedly defaming the governor’s character.
The state APC leaders said the women leaders’ actions were against the party’s constitution.
The suspension letter partly read:
“Deformation (sic) of the character of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kaduna State Malam Uba Sani.
“Unauthorized publicity of the party dispute that discredited the personality of the Executive Governor of Kaduna State.”
