Former Kaduna state governor Nasir El-Rufai took to his official social media page over the weekend to share his personal thoughts on what he termed âenvyâ among Nigeriaâs political class.
Channels TV reported that his alleged lamentation follows allegations of corruption and misappropriation of government funds during his eight years as governor of Kaduna state.
TimesNow.com.ng recalled that the Kaduna State House of Assembly had claimed that his eight-year administration allegedly siphoned N432 billion, leaving the state with huge debt liabilities.
Responding, El-Rufaiâs spokesman, Muyiwa Adekeye, affirmed the integrity of the El-Rufai government and dismissed as âscandalousâ, the claims by the committee.

El-Rufai tweeted:
