The Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the N6 billion Ramadan feeding programme of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP)- led government as a sham.
The APC called on Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf-led government to justify the money spent on this year’s Ramadan feeding programme.
Kano APC Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, threw the challenge on Saturday when he flagged off the distribution of palliatives to APC leaders and supporters at Dawakin Kudu.
Abbas asked the State Government to show evidence that the food it is providing is commensurate with what it claims to have spent on the programme.
“We know that the Federal Government, BUA and Dangote groups have provided palliatives, so let them (Kano State Government) show evidence that they have spent the said amount on the feeding programme.
“The grains we are distributing to our supporters were purchased through contribution by ourselves as we don’t have a government in the state,” Abbas said.
He said those who contributed included Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, two ministers from the state, APC National chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, and Abbas.
The chairman said other contributors include Kano APC gubernatorial candidate Dr Nasiru Gawuna and running mate Murtala Sule-Garo, Chief of Staff to APC National Chairman Malam Muhammad Garba, and Engr Abubakar Kabir Bichi.
