What happened
Sitting Governor of Kaduna State (May 2023 – Present, APC), and former Senator for Kaduna Central (2019–2023). Successor to Nasir El-Rufai. Under his administration, the Kaduna State House of Assembly established a 2024 ad hoc committee that found ₦423–432 billion in alleged losses during El-Rufai's 2015–2023 tenure; the report was forwarded to the EFCC and ICPC, leading to El-Rufai's February 2026 arrest and three subsequent ICPC arraignments. El-Rufai has publicly accused Sani of motivating the prosecutions for political reasons. No personal corruption allegations are documented against Sani in the imported corpus. Recommend `contextual` node tagging him as a `successor` / `political adversary` of El-Rufai in the prosecution graph.
