The report alleges that the previous administration diverted a total of N423 billion, leaving the state with significant debt.

The speaker of the Kaduna state assembly, Yusuf Liman, received the report and acknowledged the findings, which suggest widespread financial mismanagement and potential corruption during El-Rufai's tenure.

An X user identified as Imran U. Wakili OluwaFemi took to the microblogging platform and shared pictures of a dumped refuse site to suggest that the governor was not working, but the former governor quoted the tweet and reacted.

Oluwafemi wrote:

"They thought we were kidding when we said that in just a few months, Governor Uba Sani had changed Kaduna completely.
"This is the type of change we are getting from the best Governor in Nigeria."
