Former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai has lambasted those claiming that he has become politically irrelevant ahead of the 2027 election.
Speaking on an Arise Television’s interview, the former Federal Capital Territory Minister, said he has no business discussing about the forthcoming election at the moment.
He said, “Those that say I am relevant or not relevant in Kaduna, I don’t comment on that. Let us wait. In 2027 we will see who is relevant and who is not.”
Further addressing the ongoing investigation of his administration by the Kaduna State government, El-Rufai berated the lawmakers of the House of Assembly for failing to invite him for questioning.
He said the lawmakers breached the principles of fair hearing for not inviting him to address some of the allegations raised on the missing N423 billion in his state.
“I read the report of the state House of Assembly where they said that N423 billion was siphoned. There is nowhere in the report where they tabulated that N423billion. Money doesn’t disappear these days.
“The state assembly recommended that I should be investigated by the ICPC and the EFCC. I told my guys to calm down. We responded and said that this is nonsense. Kaduna State earned about N900 billion in the eight years I was in office. Now N423billion disappeared. I will like to see where it is,” El-Rufai stated.
