Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani has challenged former Governor of Kof the state, Nasiru El-Rufai to publicly show evidence that Governor Uba Sani diverted Local Government Councils fund.<\/p>\n

Shehu Sani, a Civil Rights Activist, reacted to claims of fund diversion against his successor in an interview over the weekend but speaking with DAILY POST on Monday in Abuja, Shehu Sani debunked, saying such a thing ever happened.<\/p>\n

According to him, El-Rufai\u2019s allegation is \u201cfalsely crafted to smear the name of of the Governor because of the N420 billion investigation hanging on him like the sword of damocles.\u201d<\/p>\n

He challenged the former Governor to release proofs of purchases of properties in South Africa, Seychelles and London by Uba Sani publicly, if the allegation was to be taken seriously.<\/p>\n

He said, Kaduna people would not forget in a hurry how Nasir El-Rufai plundered the State in eight years as Governor of the State, stressing that he should stop pushing falsehood into the public space.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cAs Kaduna indigenes, we are all living witnesses to how El-Rufai plundered the state and now investigation has indicted him and he should face it rather than pushing falsehood into the public domain.<\/p>\n

\u201cEl-Rufai should be bold enough to show proofs linking Governor Uba Sani in the purchase of properties in South Africa, Seychelles and London, then we will take him seriously.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he should be ready answer for the whereabouts of N420 billion because that money is substantial enough to develop Kaduna State to an extent\u201d, Shehu Sani maintained.<\/p>\n

Sani\u2019s reaction followed Nasir El-Rufai\u2019s allegation that Governor Uba Sani has diverted Local Government funds which he used to purchase properties in South Africa, Seychelles and London.<\/p>\n
