Get Guardian on GoogleZamfara Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned a statement by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, stating that the ruling party at the federal level is desperately trying to discredit the economic reforms and financial transparency of Governor Dauda Lawal.
The PDP leadership said, “It is laughable that the same APC government that looted the state dry for eight consecutive years without any trace of accountability, is now pretending to care about the welfare of Zamfara people.”
In a statement by State PDP Publicity Secretary, Haliru Andi, the governing party said the recent statement by the APC “is not only a display of political frustration, but also a clear indication that the party remains bitter over the massive success of Governor Dauda Lawal’s ongoing reforms, which are blocking all their previous leakages and corrupt channels of siphoning public funds.”
The statement added: “The malicious claim by the APC that Hajiya Rakkiya Ahmad Dodo ‘receives N300 million monthly’ is a complete fabrication and a shameful attempt to tarnish the image of a hardworking public servant.
“The truth is that the current administration has introduced a transparent revenue collection system where every Kobo collected is remitted into the state’s account for the benefit of the people, unlike the previous APC government that operated on a cash collection riddled with corruption and diversion of funds.”
