Ali Ndume Accuses Committee Of Fraud
“I am not trying to make allegations against the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development; what I’m saying are facts.”
“If they will continue with the way they are doing now, they had better not distribute the palliative at all because it’s a fraud.
My concern now is the manner and ways the palliative measures taken by the president are being executed.
We have received numerous complaints and it is very unfortunate.”
“Left to me, I’m calling for the so-called Humanitarian committee headed by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs to be disbanded immediately, and the president should set up a task force to handle issues of palliatives.”
Ndume went further to call on President Buhari not to squander his remaining goodwill with the people adding that he should heed several calls for the disbandment of the committee.
