The attention of Katsina State Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs has been drawn to a misleading statement by a leading politician from one of the opposition party the ADC currently circulating on one of the Online Media (Katsina Post).
The statement by Senator Ahmed Babba Kaita falsely alleged that the funds disbursed to Local Government Councils by the State government are just mete gimmick as it is being returned back by the Local Councils Chairmen as instructed.
The Commissioner of the Ministry Hon. Bishir Tanimu Gambo who led other top officials of the Ministry at a press briefing on Wednesday regarded the action of Senator Babba Kaita as false, malicious, misleading and baseless purported to create hatred for the current administration of Malam Dikko Umaru Radda.
Hon. Bishir Tanimu however urged Senator Babba Kaita to be transparent by exposing where, when and who in return received such funds from the local councils, regarding the attitude as baseless propaganda as according to him, the action was targeted towards misleading people against the state government, Commissioner, S A LG Inspectorate, SA Chieftaincy Affairs and the entire MLGCA family.
The Commissioner therefore described him as somebody ignorant of even local government administration talkless of that of the state and urged people to dismiss any baseless propaganda as the state government or MLGCA have never affiliated with such shoddy activities as mischievously insinuated by Senator Babba Kaita.
On his part, the Special Adviser LG Inspectorate Hon. Lawal Rufa’i Safana registered his dismay over the negative attitude of the Senator for creating negative atmosphere in the political square which portray him as mischievous instead of him to be sincere and truthful in his statement.
Hon. Lawal Safana advised him to be wary of being arrogant as people qualified him, saying that arrogance and mischievous attitude does not pay in current political circle.
He said having regarded Babba Kaita as his junior brother, he advised him to always be objective and accurate instead of infusing misleading and baseless statement.
Also speaking during the brief, the Special Adviser Chieftaincy Affairs Hon. Usman Abba Jaye showcased some of the achievements so far recorded by the State Governor Malam Dikko Umaru Radda within the two year period on his assumption to duty as Governor of the state.
Hon. Abba Jaye advised Senator Babba Kaita to repent and come back to join the current administration instead of wobbling.
