The Nigerian Movement for Probity and Accountability has called on the Federal Government to resume the prosecution of former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, over the alleged controversial sale of Federal Government’s properties between 2005 to 2007 when he held sway as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory .
“El-Rufai at the time understood succinctly that the Federal Executive Council under the former President and Commander-in-Chief, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo approved guidelines for the sale of Federal Government properties in the Federal Capital Territory of which the transaction under the Nasir El-Rufai was questionable, with regards to remitting the sum of N32 billion into the coffers of the Federal Government at the time.
“The court ruling was on the backdrop of El-Rufai’s spirited and audacious move to stop the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from investigating and prosecuting him over the proceeds of sales of the Federal Government Houses in the Federal Capital Territory when he held sway as FCT Minister,” the statement stressed.
