Governor El-Rufai has vehemently denied allegations of syphoning the state’s money to Dubai.
He has challenged his predecessors to come out and swear that they have never siphoned funds from the treasury.
During an interview monitored on a local TV and radio station, El-Rufai highlighted the qualitative roads he was able to construct during his tenure and noted plans to tar all roads in Kaduna State.
He went on to emphasize that no government funds had been used frivolously as he was still in possession of the same house he had before becoming governor.
He said, “I am happy that we constructed qualitative roads that would last for years. Not those kinds of roads they have constructed in the past, which after two years, after two rainy seasons, the roads would be bad.
“We still have work to do. Our plan is that we want all roads in Kaduna to be tarred. Anyone who comes to Kaduna wouldn’t see a muddy road.”
He added, “The people can see that we executed those projects with the loan we secured. We didn’t syphon the money to Dubai and buy houses or go to Jabi Road and build a mansion.
“We aren’t like such people. I became the Governor of Kaduna State with only one house located at Danja Street in Unguwan Sarki Kaduna. I have completed my tenure, Alhamdulillah…that is my only house. I don’t have any other house. I didn’t build a mansion. I don’t even need it.”
