The
revelations came against the backdrop that the few bags of grains that
were distributed in the state some months back did not get to the
targeted persons, but given out to party loyalists and their cronies.
Recall
that in June, the office of the Secretary to Government of the
Federation,
SGF, came to Adamawa State to flag off the distribution of
grains allocated to the state.
During
the ceremony, the SGF’s representative and Senior Special Assistant to
the President on Policy Development and Analysis, Alhaji Ibrahim
Bapetel, announced that 40 trucks were on ground for distribution at the
time, promising that the remaining would arrive later.
Stakeholders
and beneficiaries, who spoke to journalists in Yola yesterday, frowned
at the way the distribution of the commodities was carried out,
regretting that the commodities were distributed to relatives of
distributors, instead of those the commodities were meant for.
A
member of the National Assembly, representing Madagali and Michika
Federal constituency, Adama Kamale, expressed worry that the commodities
went into the wrong hands.
Kamale
revealed that Madagali and Michika local governments, being his
constituency and most affected local governments by the insurgency, did
not receive a single grain.
He
said as the representative of the people, he was telling the nation, the
world and the state that the people of Michika and Madagali did not
benefit from the so-called distribution.
