In a bold statement that has sparked debate, former Kaduna Central senator Shehu Sani has called for a thorough investigation into the administration of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, alleging financial misconduct and abuse of power. This comes as a reaction to El-Rufai's recent national television appearance, where he discussed governance and national issues. While El-Rufai has the right to criticize the current administration, Sani argues that his remarks were more about personal grievances than public interest. The exchange has also brought renewed attention to the unresolved disappearance of activist Abubakar Idris, known as Dadiyata. Sani dismisses any direct link between the former governor and the case but urges security agencies to reopen investigations into the circumstances surrounding the activist's disappearance. Despite this, Sani reaffirms his support for the current administration and calls for political actors to respect zoning and power rotation in the lead-up to the 2027 elections. He emphasizes the importance of both the opposition and the ruling party upholding the principle of rotation in candidate selection, sparking a discussion on the balance of power and accountability in Nigerian politics.
