Senator Shehu Buba Umar, Who Represents Bauchi’s south senatorial district, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to channel whatever federal government’s palliative meant for Bauchi state through their two ministerial representatives.
According to the senator, citizens of Bauchi state are not enjoying the palliatives meant for them by the federal government due to the high-handedness of some state government officials.
The Senator, while fielding press questions in Bauchi shortly after the APC state critical stakeholders meeting, explained that the state governor diverted the federal government’s assistance to the people, especially in the hardships they were suffering.
“Some of the palliatives the federal government sent to Bauchi state following the hardships being encountered by the people are being diverted by the state governor for self-aggrandisement, who takes such commodities to the markets and personally pocket the proceeds”.
For this reason, the senator said, the federal government should advise by channelling such palliatives for state citizens who are often deprived of such privileges through their two ministers, representing the highest federal-level decision-making body.
Senator Buba Umar explained that the need for the Tinubu-led Federal Government to channel such palliatives through the ministers was one of the agenda items for the APC State critical stakeholders meeting at the Chartwell Hotel, Bauchi.
Also, Senator Shehu Buba Umar paid a condolence visit to Alhaji Bashir Bukar Rimin Zayam’s residence in Toro Local Government Area following the passing of his mother, Hajiya Salamatu Usman Bukar.
Senator Buba expressed his heartfelt sympathy and prayed to Allah to grant the deceased eternal peace in Aljannatul Firdaus.
He asked for Allah’s strength and patience for the family so that they may bear this profound loss with grace.
Senator Buba donated a vehicle for the conveyance of dead bodies to the yard of the Rimin Zayam community and expressed his desire to complete a mosque under construction in the town.
