The SA Media and Publicity to the Hon. Speaker, Kaduna state House of Assembly Hon. Ibrahim Dahiru Danfulani

has drawn the attention of the public on the news making the rounds on the alleged purported impeachment moves against Gov. Nasir El-Rufai over corruption allegations circulating on the social platforms.

Hon. Danfulani in a statement signed and made available to newsmen has described the claim as malicious and the handiwork of enemies which should be disregarded.

According to the statement,

“Attention of the Speaker of Kaduna State House of Assembly has been drawn  to report of purported impeachment moves against Gov. Nasir El-Rufai over corruption allegations circulating on social platforms.

“This is simply the handiwork of opposition and enemies of progress of the relationship between the legislative arm of government and the executive under the able leadership of Malam Nasir el-Rufai, apparently to create crises between the legislative and the executive and in order to deny the good people of Kaduna State the dividends of democracy they are benefitting courtesy of the good working relationship between the executive and the legislative.

“The report which also said the relationship between the governor and the Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Rt. Honourable Yusuf Zailani, has been frosty for quite some time now is also nothing but the figment of imagination of the writer and perhaps their sponsors.

“It is also untrue that the state lawmakers are currently investigating the expenditures of all the Ministries, Agencies and Parastatals of the state government.

“I therefore wish to state categorically that the entire report is maliciously concorted to misinform the general public and should be disregarded in its entirety.

“Meanwhile, the origin of the purported report will be thoroughly investigated with the view to bringing the perpetrators and their sponsors to book to serve as detterent to others.

Let it however be noted that the relationship between the legislature and Executive is cordial and it is expected not only to remain so but be improved upon.”
