APC Requests Investigation Into Kano Officials’ Alleged Misuse Of FG Palliative Rice

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has demanded an independent investigation into allegations that Federal Government palliative rice was diverted by Kano State Government officials…….. CONTINUE READING 

The Chief of Staff to the Governor, Shehu Sagagi, is accused of being involved in the diversion. Sagagi has denied these claims, stating that the rice found at his Islamic school was purchased privately or donated for student use.

Kano APC Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, expressed concern over recurring palliative diversion incidents by the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) government officials. Abbas called for an independent inquiry and threatened legal action against the government if no action is taken.

In a statement on Saturday, Abbas criticized the NNPP government for its failure to address these issues and implied that the government might be tacitly supporting these actions. He highlighted the discovery of rice labeled “Federal Government Food Security Program” at Sagagi’s private school as evidence of mismanagement.

Abbas also referenced previous incidents, including the arrest of Tasiu Al’amin-Roba last December for allegedly diverting state palliatives, and the suspension of KASCO MD Dr. Tukur Dayyabu Minjibir for allegedly misappropriating grains.

He criticized the Kano State Government for rebranding and repackaging palliatives for their members, and claimed that recently, state officials misrepresented federal aid, selling items meant for free distribution to farmers.

Abbas accused the NNPP government of undermining President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to support the people and noted that despite significant federal aid, its impact has not been felt in Kano, as evidenced by public frustration during the #EndBadGovernance protests.
