Kaduna State dismisses a viral letter alleging N2.3 trillion APC rally spending as a fabricated and misleading document.
The Kaduna State Government has officially dismissed a viral letter claiming that Governor Uba Sani approved and released N2.3 trillion for an APC presidential campaign flag-off.
According to the administration, the document is entirely fraudulent, misleading, and designed to damage the governor's reputation for fiscal discipline.
The details regarding this fabricated financial claim emerged in Kaduna, according to information published by punchng.
Inconsistencies in the Kaduna State budget claims
Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, the Commissioner for Information and Culture, stated that the letter dated October 18, 2026, contained glaring inconsistencies.
The purported letter was allegedly addressed to Sen. Abdulazeez Yari, who serves as the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.
Maiyaki pointed out that the entire Kaduna State 2026 budget stood at N985.92 billion, making the alleged N2.3 trillion expenditure more than twice the annual budget.
Errors and unauthorized signatures found in document
The government noted that the fake document was financially implausible and lacked any authentic appropriation, approval, or expenditure records.
Other irregularities included the deliberate misspelling of the governor's surname as Uba Sai and the unauthorized reproduction of his official signature.
The commissioner emphasized that Gov. Uba Sani neither authored nor authorized the document, confirming that no such funds were ever budgeted or released.
Calls for security investigation into political misinformation
The commissioner warned that fabricating official correspondence and spreading false financial claims can constitute serious criminal offenses under the law.
The Kaduna State Government is currently taking steps to trace the exact origin of the purported letter and identify the individuals responsible.
Furthermore, authorities have called on security agencies to investigate the document thoroughly and ensure that anyone found culpable faces proper legal action.
