PRESS RELEASE:
MOVE
TO PROBE EL-RUFAI ILL-ADVISED – MURIC
As the Kaduna State’s
special committee prepares to probe the state’s former governor, the Muslim
Rights Concern (MURIC), has described the move as ill-advised. The group
insisted that those behind the attempt are enemies of Kaduna State.
This was contained in a
statement issued on Thursday 6th June, 2024, by MURIC’s Executive
Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola.
The statement reads:
“The special committee set up by the Kaduna State House of Assembly
has recommended that the former governor of the state, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai,
should be probed (https://www.crimechannels.com/el-rufai-administration-to-be-probed-for-abuse-of-office-money-laundering/#google_vignette).
“MURIC received the news
with a pinch of salt. There can be no clean motive behind the attempt. Those
who want to probe El-Rufai are not looking for stolen money. It is political
vendetta. They are out to stain Mallam’s good name using falsehood,
manipulations and manufactured figures as their weapons. It is unsavory, laughable and preposterous.
It is an ill-advised
move.
“The
current administration in Kaduna will do well to concentrate on building on the
enviable achievements of the former governor instead of digging pits for his
predecessor. Introducing politics of bitterness to Kaduna State is alien to the
political culture and tradition laid down by the great Ahmadu Bello, the
Sardauna of Sokoto.
“Any attempt to de-market El-Rufai
today is an attempt at undermining the possibility of a continued handshake
across the Niger which was characterized by the North-South-West alliance in the
February 2023 election. El-Rufai’s role in making the alliance a fait
accompli gave Kaduna State special prominence. Therefore, only those who do
not wish Kaduna State and, by extension, the North, well can promote the idea
of probing El-Rufai.
“Any
attempt by Kaduna lawmakers to shake the status quo is politically naïve,
myopic and kindergarten. Kaduna politicians should stop searching for a needle
in a whole collection of haystacks.”
