Governors, Headlines, Kano, Party Politics, Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP), State News Saturday, January 29th, 2022Kano State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the decision of the Kano State government to spend N500 million on the beautification of Kofar Ruwa Overpass bridge, which was named after the late Galadiman Kano, Tijjani Hashim.
A statement signed by the Chairman of the party, Shehu Wada Sagagi, Saturday held that the amount, which was recently approved for the placement of polished Nigerian granite at the bridge, was a clear case of misplacement of public funds.
” Despite being too costly, the implementation of the project started few weeks before the council approval and it was not part of either 2021 nor 2022 fiscal year respectively” the statement disclosed.
The party implored,” the members of civil society, the anti-graft agencies such as the EFCC and ICPC to investigate this shoddy deal in the interest of accountability and good governance”.
The party accused the administration of engaging on financial extravagance with the intention of further crippling the state’s economy before the end of their second tenure.
“As the opposition party and as good citizens of Kano state, we vehemently condemned this act and call on the Kano state House of Assembly, civil society and all stakeholders to resist this project as same is a misplacement of priority looking at the economic situation of Kano State” the statement said
