Kaduna Gov, Uba Sani collecting 40 percent kickbacks from contractors – El-Rufai alleges

 Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai has accused his successor, Uba Sani of collecting kickbacks from contractors before awarding contracts.

El-Rufai alleged that Sani collects 40 percent of kickbacks from contractors.

He disclosed this in an interview with Freedom Radio Kaduna, yesterday.

According to El-Rufai: “I have never stolen a kobo from anyone. If any contractor has given me a bribe, let him come forward.

“When the ICPC invited many contractors, they testified that they had never met me. Contracts worth billions were executed without me ever meeting the contractors—I worked only through commissioners and permanent secretaries.

“Uba goes to Abuja with contract documents, offering them to contractors in exchange for a 40 per cent kickback. We know what is happening.

“They assumed that was how we ran the government, but they are wrong.”

The former governor who defected from the All Progressives Congress to the Social Democratic Party also denied receiving bribes from contractors.
