Kaduna State governor Uba Sani has been accused of collecting N150b in form of grants and interventions from President Bola Tinubu, so that he could be megaphone for Tinubu.
Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai made the charge saying that governor Sani was selectively paid to wet the ground for President Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
El-Rufai who wrote on his X social media page was reacting to his successor’s jibe about El-Rufai teaming up with Abubakar Atiku and other opposition figures to unseat Tinubu in the next presidential election.
El-Rufai posted that governor Sani was only loyal to Tinubu because of the money he has received: “Every day I see this governor embarrassingly and sycophantically rambling, I used to wonder why?
” However, confirming that Federal Government ‘reimbursements, interventions, and grants’ in excess of N150bn have been given selectively to Kaduna by Tinubu in the last 18 months now explains everything.
“By all means, defend Asiwaju for the conditional cash transfer. Asiwaju has earned it, coming from you. The people of Kaduna State will judge at the right time and place. Have a nice day.”
Governor Sani did not respond to the accusations, neither has President Tinubu’s rapid respond squad.
