” What we are distributing to our supporters were purchased through contribution from ourselves as we don’t have a government.
He stated that several individuals made contributions, including the Deputy Senate President, Sen. Barau Jibrin, two ministers from the state, APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and the State APC Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas.
Dr Nasiru Gawuna, the defeated APC gubernatorial candidate in the state, along with his deputy, Murtala Sule-Garo, Chief of Staff to APC National Chairman, Malam Muhammad Garba, and Abubakar Kabir Bichi, were also among those involved.
The APC chairman announced that the palliatives consisted of 10 bags of 50kg rice for each of the 484 wards, along with bags of millet.
Abbas questioned the NNPP government’s transparency regarding the N6 billion reportedly used for this year’s Ramadan feeding programme.
Abbas criticised the programme, questioning the state government’s allocation of funds and demanding proof that the resources provided were proportional to the program’s expenses.
“We know that the Federal Government, Bua and Dangote groups have provided palliatives, So, let them show evidence that they have spent the amount on the feeding programme.
Mohammed Garba, Chief of Staff to the National Chairman of APC, highlighted that Dr Ganduje played a key role in organising the distribution of relief supplies. Alongside the Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin and others, he made significant contributions towards the purchase of the food items.
