I wasn’t involved in contracts during my father’s administration – El-Rufai’s son

The member of the House of Representatives representing Kaduna North Federal Constituency, Bello El-Rufai, has said that he was not involved in the award of contracts during the tenure of his father, Nasir El-Rufai, as the governor of Kaduna State.

Bello stated this in an interview hosted by Yaya Abba, titled, ‘With Shuraim.’

The former governor served as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory from 2003 to 2007 under the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Afterwards, he served as a two-term governor of Kaduna State from 2016 to 2023.

He was recently accused of leaving a huge debt for his successor, Uba Sani, to the tune of $587 million, N85 billion, and N115 billion in contract liabilities.

Sani noted that the state is now left with few amounts not enough to pay salary.
