A House of Representatives member, representing Ajingi,/Albasu/Gaya Federal Constituency, Dr Ghali Mustapha Tijjani has flagged off distribution of 18,600 bags of grains to his constituents in Kano state.

Speaking at the flag off of the distribution in Kano on Friday, Panda said the gesture was to put smile on the face of his constituents, especially in the Holy month of Ramadan.

According to him, considering the current economic challenges in the country, he has no choice as a representative than to share some palliative to his constituents.

He explained that he will distribute 3600 bags of 25kg of rice and 3000 bags of 10kg of the rice.

He added that 6000 bags of 10kg maize flour and 6000 bags of 10kg of millet would also be shared to the constituents.

Panda further explained that the gesture, alongside disbursement of the sum of N20 million to 1000 youths in the constituency are some of his plans for the constituents in the first quarter of 2024.

“We will continue to support our people. We will be doing this up to the end of this year. This for the first quarter.

“In Q2 we will disburse farming inputs to thousands of farmers. In Q3, we will launch empowerment schemes to over 3000 youths and women.

“In Q4 we will repair and build classes and schools and roads. We will do what we can with the available budget to us,” he said.

In a remark earlier, Special Adviser to Kano state governor on political matters, Sunusi Surajo Kwankwaso, commended Panda for the gesture.

Kwankwaso, who represented the state government said the new set of the lawmakers, especially those from NNPP, is the best in the history of Kano for making efforts to touch the lives of their people.

According to him, the lawmakers are following the footsteps of the leader of Kwankwasiyya Movement, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso in putting efforts to help the common man.

While commending the lawmaker for the gesture, Kwankwaso urged his colleagues to follow suit.

“To those that have not gotten this foodstuffs, i assure you that this is the tip of the iceberg as your turn is coming soon. You will be smiling because i believe you have a good representative,” he said.

Again Governor Yusuf Floors Ganduje As He Approves N15 billion Outstanding Severance Allowance, Gratuity of APC Councillors

Published

Governor Abba Kabiru Yusuf has approved the sum of ₦15,667,634,645.10 for the settlement of outstanding severance allowance and gratuity of All Progressives Congress (APC) councillors.

The affected Councillors who served under the immediate past Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje for eight have cause to rejoice with the generosity of Governor Yusuf.

The rare magnanimity of Governor Yusuf to offset the huge debt that Ganduje failed to settle even with political affinity, underscores the culture of politics without bitterness being ensued by the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) administration in Kano.

This is not isolated from the over all people centered philosophy of Governor Yusuf’s administration which had earlier paid in less than two years over N20 billion of the outstanding benefits of retired and deceased workers out of the over N40 billion liabilities it inherited from the eight-year Ganduje Administration.

It should be recalled that the Ganduje Administration had received bail-out funds from the Buhari led Federal Government but failed to settle liabilities of indigent workers further aggravating widespread poverty in the state. According to the leadership of the APC Councilors this neglect of over 3000 grass root community leaders was one of the reasons for the failure of the party to win the 2024 Gubernatorial Election.

This sense of responsibility and exemplification of social justice by Governor Abba continues to make him more acceptable to the masses while at the same time making Ganduje and his party more unpopular as they are seen as elite-family orientated and inclined only to their selfish interests.

The decision to release the outstanding allowances to the APC loyalists was part of resolution made at the end of 27th Executive Council Meeting of Kano State Government presided over by Governor Yusuf on Tuesday at the new Governor house at Kwankwasiyya city.

The Council deliberated on several matters of public interest and subsequently considered approval for a total sum of ₦51,575,700,575.96 for execution of key projects and programs aimed at promoting good governance and enhancing the wellbeing of the citizens of the State.
