The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Gombe State has urged the state government to stop using Federal Government support for political purposes.

The PDP’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Abdulkadir Dukku, made this call in a statement issued in Gombe on Wednesday. He said the practice had become a pattern.

Dukku condemned the government for distributing Ramadan palliatives from the Federal Government without acknowledging its role. He argued that this raised concerns about transparency and citizen welfare.

He stated that the failure to acknowledge the Federal Government’s efforts reflected a pattern of using its support for political gain. He urged greater transparency.

“We are concerned that the Gombe State government has failed to acknowledge President Bola Tinubu’s commendable efforts in providing Ramadan palliatives,” Dukku said.

He noted that, unlike Gov. Inuwa Yahaya, other governors had publicly praised the Federal Government’s initiative, highlighting the importance of collaboration in assisting vulnerable communities.

“In 2024, the governor openly criticised the Federal Government’s allocation of 20 trucks of rice meant to ease food scarcity,” Dukku recalled.

He argued that such actions undermined cooperation and hindered productive engagement with federal initiatives designed to support citizens in need.

Dukku stressed the importance of the state governor recognising the Federal Government’s and North-East Development Commission’s contributions to Gombe State’s development.

He said acknowledging these efforts would foster unity and ensure aid was distributed fairly, rather than based on political considerations.

Dukku also expressed concerns that the Ramadan palliatives might be distributed unfairly, favouring one senatorial district and neglecting others.

“We urge the governor to adopt an inclusive approach that involves all stakeholders in the distribution process,” he stated.

He added that such inclusivity would build public trust and demonstrate the government’s genuine commitment to citizens’ welfare.

Responding on behalf of the government, Mr Ismaila Uba-Misilli, Director-General of Press Affairs, dismissed the PDP’s claims as political posturing.

Uba-Misilli said that no Federal Government palliatives were allocated for Ramadan, contrary to the PDP’s allegations.

He welcomed the PDP’s acknowledgment of the Federal Government’s efforts, saying it validated the All Progressives Congress’s commitment to governance.

“Thankfully, they didn’t accuse us of hoarding the palliatives,” he remarked.

He explained that if the palliatives had come from the Federal Government, their original packaging—marked accordingly—would have made acknowledgment self-evident.

“At every opportunity, the governor has recognised the Federal Government’s support for Gombe and other states,” he added.

Clarifying the distribution, Uba-Misilli said no new Ramadan palliatives were received, and the distributed food items were from the state’s storage.

“The governor had instructed that all stored food items be distributed, including those previously received from the Federal Government, North-East Development Commission, and state government,” he said. (NAN)
