The immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has accused his successor of embezzling public funds to purchase House in Seychelles, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
The former governor alleged that Uba Sani since assuming office has been diverting funds earmarked for Local Government Councils for the purchase of properties in these locations.
He said, “As I speak, no local government in Kaduna receives more than N50 million 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,” El-Rufai said.
He further explained that once the governor gets the funds, they are immediately converted to dollars at the Bureau de Change offices.
He also stated that people who have been accusing him and his allies of corruption are worse.
“They think that because we are silent, we are unaware of what is happening. But we know everything. We know how they divert the money and the bureau de change operators involved. Those accusing us of corruption are actually doing worse,” he said.
