Accuses Gov of sabotaging education development in Kaduna
From Sola Ojo, Abuja
The national leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, to leave the Senator Representing Kaduna Central and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Basic Education, Lawal Adamu (Sen LA) alone.
The major opposition party was reacting to the ‘non-performance’ statement and alleged stoppage of the distribution of learning and teaching materials worth millions of naira procured by the lawmaker by the state Government.
Yusuf Dingyadi, the Senior Special Assistant to the National Chairman of PDP on Media and Communication, urged Mr Governor to work collaboratively with others in the interest of the State
According to the PDP, the APC-led state government has deliberately refused to distribute teaching and learning materials, including textbooks and notebooks, to primary and junior secondary schools in the constituencies of the lawmaker.
The PDP claimed that this move was aimed at discrediting Senator LA, who has been working to improve education in the state.
The party also accused the APC of hiring political propagandists to spread false information about Senator LA’s achievements.
According to him, “Teaching and learning materials including textbooks, notebooks and others that could have helped the intending beneficiaries and improve the quality of education at primary and junior secondary levels are kept in stores.
“Unfortunately, a directive was allegedly made that these materials should not be distributed at the LEA Malali Road, LEA Maiduguri Road among other places.
“It is expected that the State government, irrespective of political party, will work together with other elected representatives of the people to improve the living standard of the Kaduna populace.
“They are hiring political propagandists using radio and social media platforms to accuse Sen LA of not doing anything, forgetting that the two years of Sen LA is far better than the four years of Sen Uba Sani, who was busy with bills without impact on the people.
“PDP is a political party and so long you keep attacking it, you won’t make progress. You cannot be sponsoring political thugs and propagandists to destroy our values just because you want to impress President Bola Tinubu because of your 2027 agenda.
“No serious northerner, we campaign for APC in the North. The fact that some politicians are doing ‘Papalolo” to him does not mean they meant well to him. It is just to advance their stomach infrastructure.
“Uba Sani should not allow himself to be misled by some political ‘straying horse’ who is more of a political liability rather than an asset.
“Therefore, our PDP elected members are not dormant. They are performing well in their constituencies better than APC’s.
You cannot manipulate our political success by sponsoring propagandists attacking our performing elected legislators or showcasing decampees in a sponsored arena”, Dingyadi said.
