An Adamawa lawmaker under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Emmanuel Tsandu has accused the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Engr Babachir David Lawal of being a selfish individual who will only do something meaningful to his people and his community.

According to him he tried seeing Lawal to work out ways on how to rebuild all the bridges, schools, places of worship, social amenities which were massively destroyed by Boko Haram in the Northern part of Adamawa State to see that they are properly rehabilitated but all his efforts proved abortive.

He said Lawal only singled out his village and rebuild the bridge, tarred the road leading to his community and electrified the entire community which were not seriouly attacked by Boko Haram

“Babachir is so selfish, to us from the Boko Haram most attacked areas ,as I’m talking to you he has not send any support materials to Magadali which at the moment is still being attacked by the insurgents, our bridges that links us to Michika and Mubi was destroyed  and nobody is given us serious attention,” Tsandu said.

He also stated that all what he kept on hearing is that there is a plan to rebuild the entire Northern Adamawa ravaged by the insurgents.

“All what I do hear, is there is a plan to rebuild our ruined places by the Federal Government. They are making the whole thing to exist in the pages of newspaper; they are using the media to make serious noise about it, without real action,” he added.

But in a swift reaction the former national vice chairman of the ruling party from the North East zone, Dr Umar Duhu says that the SGF is not selfish, rather he is being a tactician on doing what a normal politician should do.

” Why on earth would he empower an enemy from the rival political party who is in hand looking for what he will grab and later turn round to tell the electorates that, it’s his efforts not that of the SGF or APC Government”? Umar asked

Umar continue to say that the ” APC as a Party would have called the SGF names if he had listened to the embattled law maker ‘Tsamdu’, if he had have his ways. Let him and his party begins to understand that, they are now in the opposition. The APC Government knows exactly what to do at the appropriate time. Security of lives and property is what the APC Government is seriously dealing with at the moment.”

“There is serial contradiction from the statements of the law maker. On one hand he said, his constituency is still under the attack of Boko Haram and yet he wants the SGF of APC Government to mobilize men and resources to the sites affected at the expense of their lives and safety?

“It is very true that the SGF has facilitated the rehabilitation of schools and a damaged bridge that fall within some areas that were less vulnerable. There is indeed nothing wrong with that, since there has never been insurgency attack on those areas for a very long time. When the Boko Haram insurgents are defeated completely, total rebuilding and rehabilitation of our areas across the entire North East will start for good.

“Let me at the juncture sound a sound of warning to Emma Tsamdu and any member of the opposition political party, that we will no longer take it lightly with anyone of you if any of you personally attack our revered leaders. The APC Leaders and its Government does not and will not take advices that are not constructive. The APC has enough men and material to deal with issue in line with the established norms.

“If the APC Government in Adamawa State is being too magnanimous to the only three opposition Law Makers in Adamawa State house of Assembly, they should limit themselves to their prism, and not to think the largess and patronage they get in Adamawa State is applicable across board. The APC has personalities that need to be empowered if the time comes, and not an opposition Law Maker to tell the Governing APC what and how to do its job.”
