Mr. Daniel Bwala, a former spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 presidential election, has described the alleged $587 million and N85 billion debt incurred by the immediate past Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, as a crime against humanity.

It will be recalled that on Saturday, Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani disclosed that the state is currently facing financial constraints, with insufficient funds to cover salary payments as a result of the alleged multi-billion debt inherited from the administration of El-Rufai.

“Despite the huge debt burden of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual liabilities sadly inherited from the previous administration, we remain resolute in steering Kaduna State towards progress and sustainable development,” the governor said at a town hall meeting in Kaduna.

Expressing concern over the development, Bwala, called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate into the matter.

“A former governor is reported to have left a debt burden of 587 million Dollars, 85 billion Naira, and 115 Contractual Liabilities

“In the same state, it is reported that there over 2000 un-fenced schools despite the save the School program.

“Any um-fenced school is a breeding ground for kidnapping of school children. What more can be more crime against humanity than this?

“I do hope EFCC should be doing pre-match exercise by now,” Bwala wrote on his X handle.
