Contract Scam: Nasarawa PDP Chairman To Face Prosecution

Nasarawa State governor, Umaru Al-Makura has fingered the state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Yunana Iliya among those that have made it impossible for the state government to complete the multi-billion naira 500 housing estate along Lafia-Doma road by collecting money for the contracts but abandoning it.
He also alleged that the state PDP chairman was also responsible for the shoddy and uncompleted work on some of the infrastructure at the school of Nursing and Midwifery, Lafia.
Al-Makura who took a swipe at the PDP chairman while speaking to    newsmen in Lafia yesterday,  explained that Iliya did not have the moral justification to speak on accountability in the state.
He noted that the PDP chairman was among beneficiaries of contracts and those that collected money to carry out particular projects in the state, without doing so.
According to him, the PDP chairman had collected sums of money to carry out work on some sections of the 500 housing estate embarked upon by the immediate governor, Aliyu Akwe Doma but subsequently abandoned the project.
At the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Lafia, Al-Makura alleged that the work that the PDP chairman did at the school were of sub-standard and as such “he is not the right person to talk of accountability,” adding that “it is too late for him to stand on the pulpit and begin to preach” on accountability.
The governor who also reacted to the statement credited to the Iliya that he (Al-Makura) should resign over his hearing impairment or risk being impeached, said he was disappointed that someone of the standing of Iliya in the society would make such statement on disability.
Describing such statements as “immoral, inhuman and ungodly” Al-Makura said that the statement made by Iliya may have been for lack of something to say.
