N2.744bn SURE-P Funds: Touch It, Go To Jail, El- Rufai Tells Yerod by xmich(op): 10:48am On May 19, 2015
From Ismail Omipidan, Kaduna


Kaduna State Governor-elect, Malam Nasir
Ahmad El-Rufai, has warned the outgoing state
government, led by Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, not
to spend the N2.744 SURE-P funds, saying as
doing so would be met with the full wrath of the
law.

The Yero-led government has been putting
pressure on the Kaduna State House of Assembly,
to give it an approval to spend the funds, barely
10 days to the end of its tenure.
But El-Rufai is kicking against the move.

Speaking through his spokesperson, Samuel
Aruwan, yesterday, the governor-elect said the
incoming All Progressives Congress (APC)
government in the state would punish anyone
culpable in the SURE-P funds’ diversion.

In a statement, signed by Aruwan, a copy of
which was made available to Daily Sun, El-Rufai
was quoted as saying: “I have been made aware
of desperate attempts to secure approval to
spend N2.744 billion Sure-P funds.

“Less than two weeks to its exit, the outgoing
government of Kaduna State is seeking to mount
pressure on the outgoing House of Assembly to
spend 50 per cent of the money on the Kawo
Road project, while the 23 local government
councils will share the balance.

“As governor-elect, it is my duty to caution every
official involved in these last-minute deals that
the incoming government will ensure that there
are consequences for illegal conduct, breach of
trust and stealing of public assets.

“Our government will certainly insist on
accountability, and no one should be in any
doubt about our resolve, be it the instigators of
any impropriety or those who facilitated and
executed it.

“Our transition committee is daily inundated
with reports about the dire financial straits in
which the outgoing government has placed the
state.

While I await the formal submission of the
committee’s report, I am compelled to publicly
affirm that we cannot and will not turn a blind
eye to bad behavior,” El-Rufai said.
