The Coalition of Kaduna Stakeholders Forum has demand that former Governor Nasir El-Rufai to stop distracting the people of Kaduna and prepare to face accountability for his alleged misdeeds.
The Coalition accused El-Rufai of hiding behind lies, distractions, and cheap political theatre to escape the consequences of his actions.
Addressing a world press conference in Kaduna State Alhaji Aliyu Muhammad, Convener of the group emphasized that the people of Kaduna will not be deceived, manipulated, or intimidated, and that it is time for El-Rufai to face the people and answer for his policies and actions.
He highlighted the alleged harm caused to Kaduna under El-Rufai’s rule, including the dismissal of thousands of civil servants and teachers, demolition of markets, and creation of artificial religious enmity.
The group also accused El-Rufai’s administration of corruption and financial mismanagement, citing the alleged misappropriation of ₦423 billion in loans and state funds.
The Coalition called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), and other relevant authorities to investigate El-Rufai and his associates, and prosecute them if found culpable.
He urged the people of Kaduna to ignore El-Rufai’s attempts to incite violence and distract them from his alleged misdeeds, saying it was a desperate attempt to escape accountability.
