Gombe PDP Praises Tinubu, Fight Gov Over Ramadan Palliatives Last Saturday, Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya initiated the distribution of food items intended to indorse the Muslim community during Ramadan.
In the statement, PDP spokesman Abdulkadir Ahmad Dukku alleged that while the federal government supplied the food items, the state government presented them as its own initiative, failing to recognize their essential origin.
“The state government’s action is a deliberate attempt to deceive the public and take credit for the federal government’s intervention. We are genuinely concerned about its failure to acknowledge the federal government’s generosity and the commendable efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“As the antagonism party, we believe it is crucial for the governor to recognise the contributions of the federal government and the North East Development Commission (NEDC). Acknowledging these efforts fosters unity and ensures that assistance reaches every corner of Gombe rather than entity distributed based on political considerations,” he revealed.
The Director General of Press Affairs, Ismaila Uba-Misilli, has, however, characterized the allegations made by the PDP as nothing more than political propaganda.
He underlined that, contrary to the assertions made, the federal government did not allocate some palliatives to the state for Ramadan distribution.
Nonetheless, Uba-Misilli appreciated the PDP’s recognition of the federal government’s initiatives, illuminating it as the reaffirmation of the All Progressives Congress’s (APC’s) dedication to effective governance.
He illuminated that no new Ramadan palliatives were provided, and the food items distributed were sourced from the state’s reserves.
“In fact, Governor Yahaya had instructed that all stored food items be distributed, containing those previously received from the federal government and the NEDC, as well as those procured by the state government,” Uba-Misilli, illuminated.
