The Kaduna Good Governance Forum (KGGF) has asked former Kaduna State Governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai to enable his successor, Uba Sani, to restore peace in the state.

The Forum also denounced El-Rufai for harassing and distracting Sani’s administration.

The group also accused El-Rufai of threatening Sani with the 2027 general elections, and decried the former governor’s purported attempts to rewrite history and establish his ownership of Kaduna State.

According to ZINGTIE, El-Rufai supported Sani for governor of Kaduna State in the 2023 election. Sani previously served as Special Adviser, Political and Intergovernmental Affairs under his administration.

However, the two men parted out immediately after Sani won the gubernatorial election.

The Kaduna State House of Assembly is now investigating El-Rufai’s government at the request of Governor Sani.

In a statement signed by Comrade Richard Amos, the Kaduna Good Governance Forum praised Governor Sani’s efforts to mend the wounds of insecurity and corruption inflicted on Kaduna State during el-Rufai’s government.

In the same line, the Forum stated that El-Rufai’s actions since the confrontation with Sani’s government smack of desperation to rewrite history to suit his narrative.

According to the Forum, El-Rufai’s threats against Sani about the 2027 election are a threat to democracy, as only the people of Kaduna State have the right to choose their leader in the upcoming elections.

The Kaduna Good Governance Forum demanded that El Rufai allow the present administration to continue its work in restoring peace and unity to Kaduna State.

“We urge El-Rufai to desist from any further threats and allow the current administration to continue its work in restoring peace and unity to Kaduna State while focusing on how to explain the theft of Kaduna State money stolen under his watch.

“The Kaduna Good Governance Forum demands that El-Rufai immediately stop his attempt at revisionism, as the people are too enlightened to fall for such a cheap trick.

“For a man who, as governor, precipitated the insecurity that now ravages the entire North-West by placing terrorists and bandits on salary, we are concerned that the threat to Governor Uba Sani is not just about politics.

“This potential to undermine the security of the state and the whole of Nigeria is enough reason for the authorities to speed up identifying and prosecuting the aides he used to steal and launder Kaduna State’s money to retrieve these funds from them and keep the state and the country safe.

“We earnestly hope that the probe of the malfeasance that dominated his administration will be taken beyond his aides, who were mere errand boys, to include El-Rufai himself.

“This malfeasance and his suspected role as a terrorist sponsor must be the core of the security report that ensured he was not confirmed as a minister, even though President Bola Tinubu magnanimously nominated him as one.

“It is the reason he is now a retired former politician who is traipsing the country, trying to form a collective of those who had failed in public office and are too bitter at being rejected,” the statement added.
