Kaduna Assembly Recommends Probe of Former Governor El-Rufai for Financial Misconduct
The Kaduna State House of Assembly recently conducted an investigation into the financial activities during the tenure of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai. The findings revealed several concerning issues:
Misuse of Loans: Many loans obtained during El-Rufai’s administration were not utilized for their intended purposes. Due process was also not followed in securing some of these loans.
Massive Debt: The El-Rufai government borrowed a total of N423 billion, leaving the state burdened with significant liabilities.
The committee recommended the following actions:
– Investigate and prosecute El-Rufai and other implicated cabinet members for abuse of office, contract irregularities, diversion of public funds, and money laundering.
– Suspend the Kaduna State Commissioner of Finance, Shizer Badda, who also served under El-Rufai’s administration.
– Conduct a comprehensive inquiry into key appointments made during the previous government.
This probe aims to ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible governance in Kaduna State.

January 1966 Coup Was A Preemptive Measure Against Northern Influence
Chief Chuks Iloegbunam, former Chief of Staff to Governor Peter Obi, revealed that the January 1966 coup was primarily executed to prevent a coup planned by Northern officers. Iloegbunam’s perspective adds depth to the historical narrative, suggesting that the motivation was to preempt a power shift that could destabilize the nation. This assertion challenges the commonly held view of the 1966 coup as a purely Igbo-led uprising, proposing instead that it was a defensive measure to maintain stability in Nigeria.
