The Kaduna state house of assembly has expressed concerns over the “subtle threat messages” directed at Yusuf Liman, the speaker of the house, by Bello el-Rufai, a federal lawmaker.
The 13-member committee was tasked to investigate loans, grants and project implementation from 2015 to 2023 — the period in which el-Rufai served as governor.In a statement on Wednesday, Suraj Bamalli, the media aide to the Kaduna speaker, said after the committee was established, Bello, in now-deleted posts via X, insulted the assembly and called for a “fight”.
“Shortly after the establishment of a committee to investigate financial dealings, loans, grants, and projects implementation from 2015-2023 in Kaduna State, Hon. Bello el-Rufai took to social media with two tweets, now deleted, insinuating a call to “fight” and disrespecting the entire legislative arm of government,” the statement reads.“Additionally, he sent insulting and subtle threat messages to the Rt. Hon speaker of Kaduna state house of assembly, Hon Yusuf Liman via WhatsApp.
Bamalli said it is “disheartening” that a federal lawmaker would resort to such behaviour and attempt to obstruct legislative duties.Advertisement
