“Why is our government so wicked, heartless and insensitive? You failed to support the citizens with any form of palliative despite several calls by our people. All you are after is media gimmicks and deceit.”
“The federal government brought rice to the state, it is not your rice, it is for the people. The Northeast Development Commission also brought rice, it is not your rice, it is for the people.”
“In this month of Ramadan even those who are not fasting are hungry. But you locked up the rice for 8 weeks just because you want to rebag the rice to fraudulently produce your own bags. The cost of producing the bags and rebagging is enough to buy rice for another batch of citizens.”
While advising the state governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya to lead with compassion, fairness, transparency, accountability and fear of God, he noted that all actions and inactions of human beings will be accountable to God on the day of judgement.
“When you run a government this way you will never succeed. As a governor, you lead with compassion, fairness, decisiveness, without fear or favour, transparency and accountability and fear of God.” He emphasised.
