Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has asked the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP-led government to justify how it spent N6 billion on this year\u2019s Ramadan feeding programme.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Abbas described the Ramadan feeding programme as a sham, asking the State Government to show evidence that the food they are providing is commensurate with what they claim to have spent on the programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe grains we are distributing to our supporters were purchased through contribution by ourselves as we don\u2019t have a government in the state,\u201d Abbas said.<\/p>\n

It was gathered those who contributed include the Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, two ministers from the state, APC National chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje and Abbas.<\/p>\n

Other contributors, the chairman said, 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.<\/p>\n

Ganduje\u2019s aide, Garba, said the gesture was aimed at alleviating the current economic hardship in the country, especially during the ongoing Ramadan Fast.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe felt it is necessary to support our party supporters and leaders across the 484 wards especially during this Ramadan period since we\u2019re in a privileged position,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Garba, who represented Ganduje, said the APC national chairman coordinated the idea of the palliatives.<\/p>\n
