Palliatives: We didn’t distribute to APC members alone - Gombe denies allegations

Mr Abdullahi Abdullahi, the Executive Secretary of SEMA, who is also the chairman of the committee in charge of the distribution of the palliatives, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Gombe.

Hajia Halima Musa, a resident of Hayin Dogo in Nasarawa community, alleged that APC executives in their ward anchored the distribution and only members were considered, “which I feel is wrong.” John said she was aware that the state Governor, Inuwa Yahaya had directed that the palliatives be given to the most vulnerable, “so I wonder why they will not follow the Governor’s directive.

Also, a member of the Labour Party in Billiri community, Billiri Local Government Area who pleaded anonymity said in his community, majority of the beneficiaries were APC members, adding “the palliatives belong to the state and not a one-party affair.” “The palliatives were meant for Gombe state people and since it is 10 persons per polling unit, it is clear that not everyone will get the palliatives.
