The member representing Zaria constituency in the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Mahmud Lawal, has described ex-Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s decision to pursue legal action over allegations that he misappropriated N432 billion as 'laughable'. Speaking to newsmen in Kaduna, Lawal expressed disappointment at what he described as El-Rufai’s sudden interest in the judiciary after neglecting it for so long.
Billions of Naira were purportedly allocated for road projects, but tragically, the only visible activity was bulldozers demolishing people’s homes, rendering them homeless,' he said. Lawal further criticized the projects carried out by the El-Rufa’i administration in Kaduna State, alleging that they were primarily aimed at personal enrichment, with little regard for the welfare of the citizens of the state.
