All Progressives Congress (APC), on Saturday demanded proof of evidence from Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to justify the N6b taken out of the Kano state government coffers for 2024 Ramadan feeding.
The Chairman, Kano state Chapter of the party, Abdullahi Abbas who spoke at Dawakin Kudu near Kano said Kano people deserve to know how that humongous tax payers money are being spent against the backdrop of emerging facts.
The tough talking Abbas said “it’s sad to note that a state government is relying on donations of food items by the federal government, Dangote Foundation, and BUA, to give out palliative to her citizens after it officially removed N6billion from the coffers”
Abbas stated that “we expect Abba Gida-Gida to come out clean on issues like this to explain what is what, and what is not in the spirit of public accountability”.
The APC stalwart while flagging off distribution of the food items to their members across 16 local government areas of Kano South at Dawakin Kudu said that it’s going to be continuous exercise to cushion economic hardship.

Abbas further explained that, “you can see that we used our personal money to give out palliative to our people despite the fact that we are out of government”.
In a speech earlier, the Chief of staff to the National Chairman of APC, Mohammed Garba said, Dr Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, coordinated the idea of the party palliative, with Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, and others as major contributors to the pot.
Garba revealed that members drawn from

“Our National Chairman, Dr Umar Ganduje is also planning to ensure that this gesture of Palliative is been sustain to be use as a means that will substantially cushions the effect of economic hardship which though is temporary and will be soon over with the President Tinubu efforts in tackling the harsh reforms outcomes.
