The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to probe all financial dealings of Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu-led APC in kebbi State if it wins the Kebbi State governorship election slated for March, this year.

Senator Adamu Aliero, a former governor of the state and chieftain of the PDP dropped the hint while addressing party faithfuls at the race course in Birnin Kebbi on Tuesday.

He said as a serving senator, he was aware of all financial deals of the state government and monies that were accrued to the state from the federal government. He maintained that he has all relevant documents and records in respect of the finances made to the state.

“I’m not used to telling lies. Whatever I say I must have records to back it up. In respect of the monies accrued to kebbi State, I have the records and documents.

“I have records and documents on all monies given to the APC administration for COVID-19 surport funds, Paris club, federal government grants,flood management funds, ecological funds, anchor borrowers funds, local government allocation, salaries bailout and budget support funds.

“When our governorship candidate, Aminu Bande takes over we will investigate what this administration does with these monies. I promise, they must account for the monies”, Aliero said.

In his address the governorship candidate of the PDP in the state, General Aminu Bande (rtd) urged supporters to get their PVCs and vote APC out in the general elections.

“If you are tired of the way they are mismanaging your resources and development get your PVCs and vote them out”, he said

By Gloria Akudoro   The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, has launched the Zamfara State Electricity Policy alongside two commissioned solar plants of 2.5MW capacity to boost electricity supply.  Tegbe also broke foundation for 36 solar minigrids across nine local government areas, projects expected to power nearly 147,000 homes and businesses upon completion.   Speaking in Gusau alongside Governor Dauda Lawal, the Managing Director of Rural Electrification Agency, Abba Aliyu, Development Partners, and Traditional and Community Leaders, the Minister credited the initiatives to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.  "The initiatives put the Renewed Hope Agenda into practice by “turning reform and investment into better public services, cleaner transport and more dependable electricity for homes and businesses,” he said.  The commissioned plants are a 1MW mini grid / 2.4MW BESS at the Ahmed Sani Yariman Bakura Specialist Hospital, which will help doctors operate with greater confidence and preserve essential medicines, and a 1.5MW / 3.6MW BESS for the Government House and its auxiliary facilities which will eliminate dependence on diesel based power generation.   Of the mini grids, the interconnected projects in Gusau and Kaura Namoda will improve supply on the existing distribution network, while the other 34 will serve communities beyond the grid’s present reach.  Zamtaxi, also unveiled, opens opportunities for drivers, technicians and young entrepreneurs in cleaner transport.   According to the statement on Wednesday by the Federal Ministry of Power, Tegbe credited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose assent to the Electricity Act 2023 created greater room for states and investors to participate in the sector. He pledged the Ministry’s support “to translate this policy into effective institutions and improved service.”   The Minister, while congratulating Zamfara on 30 years of statehood,  urged host communities to protect the assets as their own and to report vandalism and theft promptly.  He also commended the Executive Governor for driving and sponsoring the two (2) commissioned minigrid projects amongst other solar powered projects in the state, including solar power for 15 general hospitals 800 schools and 70 Primary Health Care facilities.   The Zamfara 36 minigrid projects form part of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda drive to bring electricity to all Nigerians. Alongside strengthening the national grid, the Federal Government is expanding solar power and other viable sources, bringing supply closer to demand and reaching communities previously without access.  For Zamfara, that means a more resilient, more diverse electricity system, and dependable power for the homes, hospitals, farms and markets that depend on it.
