PDP Criticizes Uba Sani Over Debt Blame on El-Rufai

The Kaduna State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected Governor Uba Sani's attribution of the state's N6.7 billion monthly debt deductions to former Governor Nasir El-Rufai. PDP Chairman Edward Percy Masha stated that Sani should take responsibility for the $350 million World Bank loan he championed in March 2020 while serving as a senator.

Masha highlighted that Sani had previously defended the loan's prudent use and should not now shift the blame for the resulting debt burden. He emphasized that the current administration is responsible for managing the debt and urged Sani to provide clear solutions rather than engaging in blame games.

Masha called for accountability and transparency, stating that the people of Kaduna deserve to know how the government plans to handle the financial pressures and protect essential services.
