Call On Your Governor To Investigate Palliative Allocation Scandal – Kano APC Challenges Kwankwaso

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has accused the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) of obstructing federal efforts to address hunger in the region. The APC criticized NNPP leader Rabi’u Kwankwaso for denouncing the Federal Government’s palliative distribution methods.

In a statement on his X handle, APC State Chairman Abdullahi Abbas condemned Kwankwaso’s remarks that the distribution was solely managed by the APC. Abbas clarified that the Federal Government’s reconstituted committee, led by Deputy Senate President Senator Barau Jibrin, includes members from various political parties, including the APC, NNPP, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as well as other stakeholders like traditional and religious leaders.

Abbas emphasized that this bipartisan committee had carefully planned the distribution of palliatives to prevent diversion and ensure aid reached the most needy. He attributed the new distribution method to President Bola Tinubu’s dissatisfaction with previous efforts, citing issues of diversion and mismanagement of aid supplies.

Abbas alleged that the NNPP government’s senior officials were involved in scandals that prevented palliatives from reaching the intended beneficiaries. He urged Kwankwaso to direct his governor to investigate these issues, hold those responsible accountable, and ensure that all missing palliatives are recovered and those at fault are prosecuted.
