Shehu Sani, a former senator representing Kaduna Central has fired shots at supporters of former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai.
Sani tackled El-Rufai’s supporters after they posted pictures of dump sites in the state on X, formerly known as Twitter, when they should hold ask him to account for funds said to have been misappropriated during his time as governor.
He countered with a reminder that residents of the state and animals drank from the same pond when El-Rufai was the governor of Kaduna.
The former senator posted some images, including a screenshot of a media report about how residents of Kukui Community in Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna shared water from a stream with animals.
“They were asked to account for N423 Billion.They resorted to “Screenshooting” images of Rubbish dump from other places and potrayed it as that of Kaduna of today. They have forgotten their images of how People and Animals drank from the same pond under their ignominious and corrupt… ,” he wrote.
Sani’s comment was a reaction to a post made by an X user, who posted pictures of dump sites to criticise Uba Sani, the incumbent governor of Kaduna.
The X user, who described El-Rufai as his mentor, said Sani has “changed Kaduna completely” since he took over as the governor of the state.
The relationship between El-Rufai and his successor has seemingly deteriorated in the last couple of months.
Sani alleged that the el-Rufai-led administration left huge debts and liabilities.
Subsequently, the Kaduna State House of Assembly recommended a probe of El-Rufai, over alleged N423 billion misappropriation.
El-Rufai had denied the allegations and taken legal action against the state house of assembly.
