Shehu Sani, former Senator representing Kaduna Central, has spoken out, asserting that if his warnings against former Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s loan acquisitions had been heeded, Kaduna State would not be grappling with its current multi-million dollar debt burden.

Sani’s remarks come in response to recent statements made by Governor Uba Sani, who highlighted the significant debt inherited by his administration from the previous government.

Governor Uba Sani disclosed that the state was saddled with a debt totaling $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 billion Contractual Liabilities, a situation that has made it challenging to meet salary obligations.

In an interview with journalists, Shehu Sani expressed his frustration at being vilified for opposing the $350 million World Bank loan request during the tenure of Nasir El-Rufai.

He said: “I was insulted for saying no to that loan. The hour of reckoning is here for every person in Kaduna state.

“Just like the way Lot (in the Bible) warned people, prophets of the past warned people, but they refused to hear…

“In the same way, I warned the people of this state, but they were told that the money will bring paradise , land of milk and honey.

“Today, you can see the problems at hand as far as that loan was concerned. If you look at what I said about this state, there has never been any of my predictions that has not come to pass..Today the state is strangulated because of that money which we couldn’t pay.”
