I\u00a0 don\u2019t know how the EFCC can squarely<br \/>\ninvestigate corruption cases in Kaduna with some of this characters<br \/>\ncutting the tape of their new abode,\u201d Mr. Sani said.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement signed by its Coordinator, Ashiru Abdullah, decried the way<br \/>\nand manner Sani had wasted his time attacking the government rather than<br \/>\nstriving hard to provide dividend of democracy to the people that gave him<br \/>\nthe mandate to represent them at the National Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>The statement noted that the Kaduna state government invited the EFCC to<br \/>\nset up office in Kaduna in a bid to ensure transparency and probity in<br \/>\ngovernance.<br \/>\nIt described the reports alluding that the legislator\u00a0 walked out in<br \/>\nprotest due to the attendance of the state governor, as false and<br \/>\nlaughable.<br \/>\nThe group insisted that Senator Sani was not there during the inauguration<br \/>\nof the Kaduna office and wondered how he could have walked out of the<br \/>\ngovernor in an event that he was not present.<br \/>\n&#8220;Senator Sani is a blatant liar who is after cheap publicity in order to<br \/>\ngain public sympathy for his 2019 political aspiration.<br \/>\n&#8220;He knows definitely El- Rufai that provided the office space for the EFCC<br \/>\nwill be there to commission it.<br \/>\n&#8220;In fact, as at the time the event was going on,\u00a0 he was relaxing at Asaa<br \/>\nPyramid Hotel. So how can one just wake up and say Senator Sani walked out<br \/>\non the governor? This is a blatant lie.<br \/>\n&#8220;Let him show evidence with pictures that he was at the event otherwise he<br \/>\nshould keep quiet. This is just a mischief.<br \/>\nThe statement, therefore advised the lawmaker to stop overheating the<br \/>\npolity and focus on providing dividends of democracy just like the two<br \/>\nother Senators from the state have been doing.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group, Kaduna Solidarity Forum,\u00a0Saturday\u00a0advised Senator Shehu Sani, representing Kaduna Central\u00a0 Zone , to stop dissipating energy on fighting Governor Nasir El-Rufai, because of his 2019 ambition, urging him\u00a0 to&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44715,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
