Kaduna state Governor-elect has threatened to jail Governor Mukhtar Ramalan Yero if he touches N2.744billion SURE-P fund.   

THE SUN reports that the Yero-led government has been putting pressure on the Kaduna State House of Assembly, to give it an approval to spend the funds.

Kicking against the move, a statement issued on behalf of El-Rufai by his spokesperson, Samuel Aruwan read, ''I have been made aware of desperate attempts to secure approval to spend N2.744 billion Sure-P funds.

''Less than two weeks to its exit, the outgoing government of Kaduna State is seeking to mount pressure on the outgoing House of Assembly to spend 50 per cent of the money on the Kawo Road project, while the 23 local government councils will share the balance. As governor-elect, it is my duty to caution every official involved in these last-minute deals that the incoming government will ensure that there are consequences for illegal conduct, breach of trust and stealing of public assets.

''Our government will certainly insist on accountability, and no one should be in any doubt about our resolve, be it the instigators of any impropriety or those who facilitated and executed it. Our transition committee is daily inundated with reports about the dire financial straits in which the outgoing government has placed the state.
