- By Abubakar Sadiq Isah

The chief of Wako in Kwali Area Council, Alhaji Ibrahim D. Usman, has said the present APC-led administra­tion of Mr. Joseph K. Shazin has failed to impact on the lives of his subjects.

Usman, who stated this when he received the chairman of PDP in the area, Alhaji Mohammed Aruwa, in his palace yesterday, said there was no amenity in the community.

He said since the past administra­tions of Samuel Gwamna, and Mohammed Gimba, no other administra­tion has executed any project in the community.

The chief said even employment which the present chairman ought to have given to graduates in the council were given to outsiders for political reasons.

“To be sincere, our present council chairman has not helped us. After the past chairmen, late Samuel Gwamna, Mohammed Gimba and Ibrahim Daniel, we don’t have any government presence again. I’m sorry to say, but there is nothing to write home about the present government as there are communitie­s that are lacking water and nothing has been done and allocation is being given as at when due,” he said.

The traditiona­l ruler, however, commended the FCT senator, Philip Aduda, for his effort in proving boreholes and solar community and other the area councils.

Earlier, the Kwali chapter chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Aruwa, said they were embarking on inspection of some projects executed by Senator Philip Aduda in the area.
