Kaduna Assembly Reaffirms Probe Of El-Rufai As Protesters Demand Update by Putindbutt(op): 9:25pm On Feb 16

The Kaduna State House of Assembly on
Monday reaffirmed its resolve to uphold transparency and accountability as hundreds of citizens staged a protest over the ongoing probe of the administration of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

The protesters, led by Ambassador Yerima Shettima of the Northern Stakeholders Consultative Initiative and Aliyu Muhammad of the Coalition of Kaduna Stakeholders Forum, submitted a formal letter to the Speaker, Hon. Yusuf Dahiru Liman, seeking updates on the legislative investigation.

Speaking after receiving the protesters at the Assembly, Speaker Liman assured them that the House had already taken concrete steps.

He disclosed that a committee set up in June 2024 to investigate alleged misappropriation of N432 billion had completed its assignment and submitted its findings to the appropriate authorities.

According to him, the Assembly would not be distracted from its constitutional mandate.

“There are those who may not fully understand the role of the legislature, but we stand by our documented findings. Anybody found wanting will face the full wrath of the law,” he said.

The Speaker emphasised that peaceful protest remains a constitutional right and reiterated that no individual is above the law.

In his remarks, Shettima described the action as a civic engagement aimed at strengthening democratic institutions and ensuring that due process runs its full course.

“This matter concerns the future of Kaduna State and the integrity of our democratic system. Citizens have the right to demand transparency and accountability,” he said.

The coalition urged the Assembly to provide clear information on the status of the probe and to consider creating an open platform for affected citizens to present their concerns.

Protesters:- Tell us what's going on with Elrufai, it's already 9 pm. Over ten hours since he reported at EFCC's office.

Mr Speaker:- Elrufai is still with EFCC eating beans. It's going to be a long night.

Protesters: Yowa!

Like Uba Sani, like Tinubu. Two treacherous snakes and ingrates. A probe wherein Elrufai was never invited? He would have arrived with a hillux load of documentation just as he did with the EFCC today. By the way, has the DSS ever charged someone to court without an arrest or arraignment as they did with Elrufai today? When are they going to arrest Elrufai? There are levels to this thing o.

Meanwhile, today at the "grand" reception of Abba Kabir in Kano.

More video of the "massive" crowd in Kano today. Even Tinubu got the Intel and quickly diverted to Yola instead.

Despite teaming up with all Kano APC heavyweights, see the crowd Gov. Abba pulled at his official reception into APC 🤣

If you do not know that politicians have been prosecuted and jailed including former Governors and lawmakers, then your age, Education and IQ is in question.

Good morning.
First it is not the responsibility of the Kaduna staff house of Assembly to tell you the whereabouts of the short man.

But to clear your fears, El-Rufai slept in the EFCC headquarters last night

Definitely he needs to learn to be simple and not be a smart thug.

He's arrogant and impatient.

His son claimed he'd delivered power and gas but was denied because people knew he'd done better and give Nigeria steady electricity.... But he was unable to give Kaduna state steady electricity, rather sacked teachers instead of creating seminars and workshops to give them sintructional learning and improve their teaching methods. And then he embezzled Kaduna state funds and was unable to account for it.

The God of Apostle Johnson Suleiman is dealing with the short midget who was power drunk during the Buhari era. A man who led the war to silence Suleiman for daring to voice out against Fulani terrorists. It's payback time for him for his numerous attrocities against Christians in Southern Kaduna.

Will they be doing all these if Elrufai was still working with thiefnubuu?
