The governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, has reacted to the allegations levied against him by Bashir El-Rufai, who accused him of shying away from his responsibility by always staying away from the state and hibernating in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja.
Bashir made this accusation hours after the state governor accused the immediate past governor, Nasir El-Rufai of leaving a huge debt of $587m, N85bn debts and 115 contract liabilities for the state, making it difficult for him to pay salaries.

Bashir, also accused Governor Sani, who is a friend of his father, of surrounding himself with a retinue of incompetent aides appointed for political patronage.
Reacting to this, Sani’s spokesman, Mohammed Shehu, said the governor would not respond to El-Rufai’s son, saying that his principal had stated the obvious on the financial status of the state.
