The Senator representing Adamawa Central Senatorial District, Senator Aishatu Ahmed (Binani), has denied allegations of embezzlement levelled against her over the execution of a multi-million naira Solar street panel contract awarded through the office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals, Princess Adejoke Orelope Adefulire.

A report which surfaced online , claimed that Senator Ahmed, as Chairman of the Senate Committee on SDGs, used imaginary and fictitious solar streetlights projects awarded through the office OSSAP-SDGs, for her constituents to divert huge sums from the multi-millionaire solar street lighting project.

Senator Binani, who described the news as disinformation aimed at tarnishing her hard-earned reputation coming from her detractors, maintained the All in One Solar Street Lights were installed in five out of the seven Local Government Areas, that comprised her senatorial district, by OSSAP-SDGs as stated in the terms of the contract.

She said, “The five local government areas are: Fufore, Yola North, Yola South, Song and Hong with each having 320 in number, of All in One Solar Street Lights to the credit of the Senior Special Assistant to Mr President on SDGs and her officials. “The installation of these lights was perfectly executed and evenly distributed across the Wards, Districts, and special areas of need in consultation with some stakeholders and traditional rulers from the various Local Government Areas.”

She challenged anyone in doubt to visit the 56 wards across Yola South, Yola North, Fufore, Song, and Hong LGAs to confirm if what she claimed is the truth.Read Also
