Return Stolen Funds Now or Face Hell, El-Rufai Warns Politicians

Malam Nasir El-Rufai, Kadunna State governor-elect, has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of stealing money from the nation’s treasury and assured Nigerians that the incoming administration will make sure that all the funds allegedly stolen by the Goodluck Jonathan administration would be returned to the public coffers.

El-Rufai statement is coming on the heel of  Muhammadu Buhari, President-elect’s warning to the outgoing administration to complete their audit and explain what occurred with the SURE-P funds alleged to have been mismanaged by the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

He asked corrupt politicians to return these funds now politely or face the fierce arm of the law.

El-Rufai, while welcoming members of the National Union of Textile Garments and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria (NUTGTWN), said that the recovery of these funds has become absolutely necessary due to the bad debt situation the incoming Buhari administration is scheduled to face.

He said that “We will politely ask those who stole government money to return the funds. This is because those in government now are there to work for themselves, but the APC government is made up of people who are ready to work for the masses and betterment of the country.

“We will work with the textile union to ensure that lives of average Nigerians get better.” He added
