Bala Usman was suspended on Friday over alleged non-remittance of N165 billion to the consolidated revenue fund account (CFR).
She has since denied the allegation.
In a tweet on Thursday, the suspended NPA MD made veiled reference to her current travails, saying the truth will triumph.
She also pledged loyalty to Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, whom she described as her “forever boss”.
Bala Usman was Chief of Staff to El-Rufai when President Muhammadu Buhari named her NPA MD in 2016.
The suspended NPA MD, who accompanied El-Rufai to the palace of the Emir of Zazzau, tweeted: “Eid Mubarak….”Taqabbalallāhu minnā wa minkum” May Allah accept [good deeds] from you and us” At the place of the Emir of Zazzau with my forever Boss @elrufai. We remain resolute in the believe {belief} that the truth always triumphs…Allah’s protection and guidance always.”
