LG POLL: APC Accuses Gov. Bala Of Diverting Fresh Assorted Fed Gov. Palliatives
By Adamu IMAM Bauchi
The All Progressives Congress APC in Bauchi state has accused Governor Bala's administration of diverting assorted commodities meant for distribution as fresh palliatives to cushion the economic hardship being faced by people of the state.
They made the accusation at the flag-off campaign rally ahead of the forthcoming local government elections slated on 17th August 2024 in the state.
The inaugural rally of the all progressives congress drew crowds of supporters and stakeholders across the twenty local council areas, preparatory to the forthcoming local government elections in the state.
The state Chairman of the party Hassan Mohammed who received the 113 current councillors with their followers who defected from the ruling people's democratic party PDP, says they are fully prepared to participate in the poll.
"PDP led administration in state has put us in this untold hardship and Governor Bala just five days ago was saying stylishly that the money he collected from the federal government is unrealistic,
and he refused to allow people to know what is going on with that money, instead he should tell Bauchi people where about of the money, where is the twenty trucks of rice?
this is shameful, recently Benue state sold fertilizer at affordable price of N17, 500 but here in Bauchi, governor Bala declared N20,000 naira as price of the commodity for Bauchi farmers is very unfortunate" he said.
During the rally, all twenty candidates were presented with the flag of the party, while wooing electorates in the state to come out enmasse to vote for the APC, saying they are not afraid of the incumbency advantage notion.
Meanwhile, the senator representing Bauchi South senatorial district Umar Shehu Buba at the campaign rally, allegedly accused the state government of inflicting untold hardship on the people of the state
"Governor Bala seeks for Tinubu support in last general elections, and Bala lost woefully in PDP presidential primaries, while Bola Tinubu defeated his contemporary politicians to clinched the the APC ticket and he wins the general elections, become the President, so Tinubu is not your mate in politics",
"And Bala says President Bola should come forward as PDP campaign director of he did not change his policies, I knew, your PDP cohort knows that, after you scored only 20 votes during PDP presidential primary, decided to do anti-party together with Wike and Otom Nigerians knows that, PDP are watching them",
I entered elections after all, on that faithful day he cast his vote, and went and locked himself in a room, switch off his phones, and PDP at the top are aware Bala did not support his party, until his time comes they will pay him back,
big stakeholders of the party they are waiting for the time, so you and your PDP cannot do anything", he stressed.
The ruling people's democratic party had earlier flagged off its campaign rally where it accused the APC led federal government of bad policies that have made life unbearable for many Nigerians
While debunking earlier, insinuation that the APC will not participate in the local council elections according to them during the inaugural campaign gathering, is now over as they are ever ready for the battle to change and progress of the people throughout the state.
