Stop Media Attacks On Senator Usman, Group Tells Gov Sani

A socio-political organisation, Kaduna Central Integrity Group (KCIG) has berated Governor Uba Sani over his alleged media attacks on the senator representing Kaduna Central senatorial district, Sen. Lawal Adamu Usman.

KCIG said it was laughable that Governor Sani whose administration in the state since its inauguration on May 29, 2023, had yet to make any meaningful impact on the lives of the electorate in the state would turn around to hide under a “faceless” body to accuse Senator Usman, popular amongst his constituents for his various “unprecedented achievements,” of non-performance.

KCIG wondered how Governor Sani’s government in Kaduna State, which had been enmeshed in one crisis or the other to the extent of being distracted would resort to covering its incompetence and inadequacies by going for a senator whose constituents’ believe had brought them big relief.

The KCIG stated this in a statement in reaction to claims by a group, Kaduna Good Governance Monitoring Group (KGGMG) that Senator Usman had failed to adequately represent Kaduna Central Senatorial District and had not delivered on his campaign promises.

But the KCIG, claimed in a statement jointly signed by its president, Mallam Mohammed Kaulawa-Chikun and secretary general, Dr Yohanna Matthew Ibrahim, that KGGMG was being used by Governor Sani to attack Senator Usman in the media.

The group added that the “myriads of unprecedented achievements” already recorded by Senator Usman in less than two years in the Senate had exposed the incumbent Kaduna governor, who earlier represented them for four years in the National Assembly as a “monumental failure”, given his lacklustre performance in his current position as the governor of Kaduna State.

Recounting the achievements of Senator Usman in the almost two years of being in the Senate for Kaduna Central, the group said the lawmaker’s achievements in the areas of education, infrastructure, youth and women empowerment have been unprecedented. Efforts to speak with Governor Uba Sani’s team were not successful at the time of filing the report.
