Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, has congratulated Nasir el-Rufai, his predecessor, on his 65th birthday.
“I wish to extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to my dear brother, friend and predecessor, His Excellency, Malam Nasir @elrufai CON on the occasion of his 65th birthday. I pray the Almighty Allah to continue to guide, protect and strengthen his excellency,” Sani said in a post on X.
Political happenings show that el-Rufai and Sani are not on good terms.
The former Kaduna governor supported Sani’s governorship ambition in the build-up to the 2023 elections. However, the duo fell out months after Sani assumed office.
Sani had accused the el-Rufai administration of leaving a huge debt and liabilities which he said hindered governance in Kaduna.
Subsequently, the Kaduna house of assembly commenced a probe of the former governor over the allegation of public funds diversion and money laundering.
El-Rufai has also criticised Sani’s administration.
Recently, the former governor accused Sani of being a sycophant to Tinubu.
El-Rufai had said Sani’s support for the president was because of the N150 billion reimbursements to Kaduna by the federal government in the past 18 months.
