Rejoinder: Umar Duhu got it wrong

Adamawa Governor, Fintiri


By Muhammad B. Tukur

Please Stop Misleading our People, Mr Umar Duhu. It is disheartening to note a purported misleading and mischievous publication written by Umar Duhu regarding palliatives addressing the National Assembly and Chairman Presidential Taskforce to take action against our amiable Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri

Mr Umar Duhu, you have to note that we don’t join issues with political attention seekers like you, that’s why we decline to respond to your various erratic and eccentric comments about this government. This is because we are focused to deliver our promises and cannot allow disgruntled and frustrated politician to distract our attention.

Since the issue of COVID-19 pandemic that threaten the mankind came into this country followed by declaration of lockdown in Adamawa by the government, the federal government has not sent any 50 trailers of 600 bags of rice to Adamawa as purportedly mentioned by Umar Duhu. It was the sole effort of Governor Fintiri who has his people at heart directed ADSEMA to distributes palliatives to the most vulnerable in Adamawa.

Subsequently ADSEMA followed the Governor’s directive and distributed palliatives drawned from its store to each of the 21 local governments in the presence of representatives of each local government. The Items distributed included 3,948 bags of 50KG rice, 4,545 jerrycans of 25L vegetable oil, 135 bags of 50KG sugar, 21 cartons of Couscous, 21 bags of 50KG Beans and 1, 530 cartons of Tomatoes Paste.

As such, Mr. Duhu please where did you get your information? what are your facts? from what source? ministry of Humanitarian Affairs or NEMA that have the responsibility of sharing federal government palliatives? Umar Duhu you could help us and ask the SGF, any person or agent who the federal government contracted to deliver ours because, we are in eager need of such palliatives to assist our people.

For your information, this government has already wiped out all the rooted nepotism, selfishness and greediness planted by your APC led government in Adamawa. Mr Umar Duhu, you don’t have shame to accuse Fresh Air government of being favouring stakeholders and elites at the detriment of the masses which has become the order of the day during your stewardship in Adamawa.

You are false, Mr Umar Duhu to say that we run government with interest and favouritism. Under our watch all people and local governments have equal share of dividends of democracy. This is where we are different with you. Devoid of political consideration, we grants local government full financial autonomy, we pay salary as at when due, we give free education, free WAEC, NECO, we build roads across 21 local governments, we pay pension and gratuity, we provide water and electricity among others.

By the way, who is Umar Duhu? a political attention seeker, somebody who created divide and rule in APC. I challenge you Mr Umar Duhu give us name of any polling unit you’ve delivered from your local government since you started politics? Where were you when the immediate past administration plunged this state into a debt burden amounting to over 100 billions, where were your when the government siphoned local government funds and turned local council Secretariats into less useful. Where were you when your government suffered our people? You couldn’t talk until now.

Reminder! no element of distraction will deter us from giving our people the best of governance. Governor Fintiri means business and noting else.
