Kaduna: Assembly Report On El-Rufai Vindicates Our Stand On Expenses – PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kaduna State chapter, has said that the report of the State House of Assembly on the financial expenditure of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai has vindicated its position on certain expenses of immediate past government in the state.
The PDP therefore called on Governor Uba Sani to as a matter public interest, accountability, transparency and posterity, invite the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related matters Commission (ICPC), to further probe and recover all the monies allegedly looted by Mr Nasir El-Rufai and his cronies.
It insisted based on the report and recommendations of the House of Assembly Committee, those found guilty should be prosecuted in accordance with the law.
These were contained in a statement by Abraham Alberah Catoh, State Publicity Secretary of the PDP in which he said that the party is following events as it unfolds, and will always react, accordingly.
The PDP noted that Governor Uba Sani had said that he supported and gave his consent during the application for the loan in good faith while serving as a Senator, adding that taking the bold step to invite the EFCC and ICPC will further exonerate him from the public scrutiny and court of public opinion.
The opposition Party in the State said that it supports full government action towards enthroning transparency and good governance across all levels of government in the state.
The PDP particularly commended the House of Assembly and the members of the Committee for a job well done and for standing on the good side of posterity, saying that history will never judge them in bad light.
