Senator storm out of EFCC launch for involving el-Rufai

Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has walked out of the official commissioning ceremony of EFCC office in Kaduna to protest the attendance of Governor Nasir El-rufai, describing as aberration.

The event which took place Thurs
day was the launching of the Kaduna zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The anti-graft agency had invited the two politicians, amongst other dignitaries, to the commissioning of the new office at Wurno Road, Kaduna.
But Sani drove out of the venue to protest the invitation handed to Gov. El-Rufai, his arch rival, describing it as an aberration.

Senator told journalists that his action was “in objection to invitation of the Kaduna State Governor”.
“I honoured the invitation to launch the zonal office of the EFCC and to participate in a stakeholders forum.
“I don’t think someone invited in this event fits in to the philosophy and principles of the EFCC.

“I don’t know how the EFCC can squarely investigate corruption cases in Kaduna with some of this characters cutting the tape of their new abode,” Sani said.

Efforts by people at the gate to convince the Senator to return to the event were unsuccessful.
Other dignitaries who attended the event are the Senator representing Kaduna North, Sulaiman Hunkuyi, immediate past governor of the state, Ramalan Yero, the EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Magu, and the representative of Namadi Sambo, Shehu Idris, the Emir of Zazzau, among others.
