The All Progressive Congress in Niger State has described the recent cabinet reshuffle by the state Governor, Dr. Muazu Babangida Aliyu, as an outright display of insensitivity to the plight of the people by the Peoples Democratic Party-led government.
The APC in a statement on Sunday in Minna by its state Publicity Secretary, Jonathan Vatsa, said that the exercise was an action aimed at securing the political interest of the governor and not to serve the people.
“The recent cabinet reshuffle was mere waste of government time and resources because it was mere recycling of the same old hands to serve the governors political ambition in 2015,” Vatsa said.
Vatsa said that it had become obvious that the conduct of the PDP under Governor Aliyu in the state was that of selective honesty while tactically encouraging corruption and disorder.
He said: “What they do in reception rooms varies from what they say in the public, for instance when the PDP administration of Dr. Muazu Babangida Aliyu came on board, it promised not to work with thieves and corrupt officers of the preceding Kure administration in the state. But we see today that he has not only included the members of the Kure’s administration in his government but has embarked on outright financial recklessness and insensitivity to the plight of the common man in the state.”
Vatsa said that the people of Niger State were wallowing in poverty while civil servants remained grossly under remunerated.
“This deception must stop, we urged the good people of Niger state not to be deceived by the cosmetics of the government which beauty is in the rhetoric of government pronouncement with no practical achievements to show for it,” he said.
