Explain What Happened To The Security Fund We Contributed During Your Tenure – ALGON Scribe Challenges El-Rufai

A former Secretary of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) in Kaduna State, Kabiru Jarimi, has accused former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai of siphoning local government funds during his administration.

He argued that El-Rufai’s claim that he never interfered with local government funds is false.

Naija News reports that El-Rufai in a recent interview claimed that his successor, Uba Sani was diverting local government funds to purchase properties in Seychelles, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

He had alleged, “As I speak, no local government in Kaduna receives more than N50m per month. Once the allocation arrives, they siphon it, exchange it into dollars, and use it to buy properties in Seychelles, South Africa, London, and other places.”

However, speaking to newsmen, Jarimi, who served under El-Rufai’s administration, described the claim as misleading, stating that local governments in the state were routinely deprived of their full allocations during the previous administration

He said that funds were deducted from the councils’ allocations under various guises.

“I was shocked by El-Rufai’s comment because local government funds were deducted without our approval. Most of these deductions targeted Southern Kaduna LGAs.

“We never received our full allocations under El-Rufai. His government kept introducing policies that unnecessarily deducted funds. I even considered resigning at times, as we often didn’t have enough funds for overhead costs after paying salaries,” Jarimi explained.

The ALGON scribe further alleged that El-Rufai justified the deductions as necessary to settle workers’ salaries, but claimed the state government also employed additional methods to withdraw more funds. He cited the creation of the Kaduna Capital Territory Authority, Zaria Metropolitan Authority, and Kafanchan Municipal Authority as mechanisms for short-changing local

“Salaries were shared 60-40 between the capital territories and the local governments around them. In Kaduna South, deductions were made in the name of sanitation, forcing us to remit funds to the Kaduna Capital Territory Authority every month,” he stated.

Jarimi also challenged El-Rufai to explain where the deducted funds went, specifically questioning the use of the security and riot damage funds.

“We contributed to a security fund, yet no former LGA chairman can account for how it was used. The same applies to the riot damage fund; no LGA benefited from it. I challenge the former Governor to explain where the money went,” he said.

The former ALGON secretary commended Governor Uba Sani for reversing many of El-Rufai’s policies, particularly the abolition of the Kaduna Capital Territory Authority, Zaria Metropolitan Authority, and Kafanchan Municipal Authority, as well as the security and riot damage funds.

Pettiness

We all know that Rufai is a snake.

El Rufai is a coded big-time criminal. He will be exposed in due time

And what will happen to Tinubu?


👿👿👿

El-Rufai had a real knack for playing financial hide-and-seek with local government funds, using clever deductions and policies to siphon money while pointing fingers at others.

Why not petition EFCC.
All these rants no get effect

simpleseyi:
Short man devil go soon buy market

na druggie hand man before be that show respect

El Rufai the religious bigot that couldn't win Kaduna State for Tinubu during the last Presidencial election.

Maybe the fund is part of the money he used to sponsor himself to the Netherlands to study advance Islamic Studies immediately he left office as a Governor 2 years ago.

Nobody don get Hellanufia time for now.
When d real politics start everyone will be put to their place.

A leader who rigged his to power, will maintain power by rigging every other thing to keep himself in power...
NBS report — rigged
2/3 majority in Nass — rigged
Supreme Court verdict — Rigged

I have told you lots to stop accusing me senselessly

Point out to where I have ever attacked Elrufai

If not for Jonathan people like Hel-rufia and Buhari won't have smelled power in this country. Jonathan was so weak to allow these people grab power.

Is it the fund he is already wasting on amalgamation of political parties to contest for the presidency of Nigeria ? The man don jeunsoke ooh ...Only God can force him to vomit what he swallow

KABIRU JARIMI is not Tinubu ooo.


IPOB terrorists and their newly gained slave master up North that wil be contributing to this thread should take Note.


El rufai main problem is actually in his state kaduna not at the FG level.Reason why Tinubu doesn't even take him seriously

El Rufai's reputation has been battered beyond repair.

I suspect that his no. 1 goal has always to become president like Tinubu.

He actually sought Obasanjo's support but it went to Yar'Adua in 2007.

Now that his bigotry, sleaze and barbarity have now been exposed, I don't think he has a chance in a million light years of even becoming a senator.
