The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has urged Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani to invite the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, to further investigate former Governor Nasir El-Rufai over his indictment by the state House of Assembly.
This was contained in a statement issued by the state publicity secretary, Abraham Catoh, on Friday.
Mr Catoh added that Mr El Rufai’s indictments by the legislative arm have vindicated the party.
“The reports of the Kaduna State House of Assembly investigations on financial expenditure of the immediate past administration of Nasir Elrufai has vindicated the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, that has always challenged the government on certain expenses of the Elrufai government.
“The PDP wishes to call on the governor of the state, Sen. Uba Sani, to, as a matter of transparency and posterity, immediately invite the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Matters Commission, ICPC, to further investigate and recover all the monies looted by Nasir Elrufai and his cronies and those found guilty be prosecuted, as revealed and recommended by the Committee’s report.
“It will be recalled that earlier, governor Uba Sani had claimed that he supported and gave his consent during the application for the loan in good faith while serving as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from Kaduna, taking this bold step will further exonerate him from the public scrutiny and court of public opinion.
“The PDP supports full government action towards enthroning transparency and good governance across all levels of government in the state.”
The party also commended the House of Assembly and the Members of the Committee for doing a great job and standing on the good side, adding that posterity and history will never judge them in a bad light.
