Kaduna State Governor, Mr Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa said yesterday that his administration has achieved maximum success within the last 100 days.
Reacting to this claim, the opposing political party Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), argued that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government in the state has indeed failed in all ramifications.
Yakowa who briefed journalists to mark his 100 days in office said that his administration has been able to build and restore confidence and hope in our polity after the unfortunate Post Presidential election violence that engulfed both our State and others.
In addition, he said that his promise to be a solid, sensitive and responsive government was still intact and Listed his successes to include the Launching of the Kaduna state tractor programme involving the flagging off of the sales of 186 tractors at highly subsidised rate for the improvement of agricultural undertakings in the State.
Yakowa also said that within the period his administration has Launched 23 refuse collection vans for the evacuation of waste, continued with the sale of kerosene through the Kero-Direct Scheme to the Local Government Areas at N50 per litre and distributed 7000 branded crash helmets to properly registered commercial motorcycle riders free of charge.
On the peace and development of the state, the Governor said, “only peace can attract investors to our state. Before now, the world is said to be a global village. Scholars and students of international politics are now saying the world system had condensed from a global village to a global neighborhood. In this light, we must imbibe the spirit of multilateralism by living peacefully and forging friendship beyond ethnic and religious lines.”
On its part, the ACN that the government has nothing to show for the 100 days it has been in office.
The State chairman Barrister Muhammed Musa Soba argued in a statement that, “so far, the Yakowa administration has demonstrated an embarrassing level of ineptitude and incompetence in managing the affairs of the Kaduna state which has resulted in paralysing the administrative mechanism of the state Government and the stagnation of socio-economic activities across the state.”
