The Chief of Staff to Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, Shehu Wada Sagagi, has described the accusation labelled against him by the state chairman of All Progressive Peoples Congress (APC) Abdullahi Abbaa of diversion of palliatives as baseless, misleading, and politically motivated.
Sagagi, in a signed statement issued today in Kano said, the antics deployed by the opposition party in the state was a “desperate attempt to tarnish his image in the eyes of right thinking Nigerians, and a calculated attempt to discredit the NNPP government’s efforts in supporting the people of Kano state.
According to Wada Sagagi, the APC’s claims of palliative diversion and rebranding level against his personality are unfounded and lack concrete evidence, as he pointed that such frivolous ranting are mere allegations designed to score cheap political stunts.
“Let it be on record that my office has never been involved in palliatives distribution and no one has ever allocated the palliatives to me for onward distribution to state, local governments or ward level. The APC’s claims of palliative diversion are also contradictory, as they have previously praised the NNPP government’s efforts in supporting the people of Kano state,” he revealed.
It can be recalled that the Kano state APC leadership had called for an investigation over an alleged discovery of federal government branded rice discovered in a school during the end of a bad governance protest believed to be connected to the Chief of staff to Kano state governor.
