Odinkalu, Shehu Sani celebrate indictment of El-Rufai 

 

Former Senator who represented Kaduna Central in the National Assembly, Shehu Sani and ex Chairman of National Human Rights Commission, Chidi Odinkalu, have celebrated the indictment of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai. 

 

El-Rufai was accused of superintending the government that looted N423 billion from Kaduna, according to a report by the Kaduna State House of Assembly. 

 

The Assembly recommended the investigation and prosecution of the ex-governor and his alleged accomplices. 

 

In a post on X, Sani said the report by the Assembly vindicated him. 

 

He said: “For eight years, I stood alone telling the people of Kaduna State and the country how our state was systematically looted by the Governor and the criminal gang around him.The People inside and outside the state were deceived with aesthetics and industrial scale propaganda.They wrecked the economy of the state,enriched themselves and their families,destroyed the lives and livelihoods of millions of people and used religion to divide our state.I was persecuted and many attempts were made on my life and that of my supporters.Many politicians in the state were silenced out of fear of arrest,attacks by thugs or having their properties confiscated or demolished.I refused to be silenced. The Kaduna Assembly report is a vindication.”

 

For Odinkalu, El-Rufai who was reputed for haunting opponents with the courts no longer has the power to deploy the tool. 

 

He said: “My good friend, the #VileLittleMan is finding out about the ephemerality of power. How sad that he does not have any capacity to charge any one with incitement or treason or criminal defamation on this occasion.”
