The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano said it would closely monitor the state government’s utililsation of the N3 billion flood relief funds provided by the federal government.
Mr Abdullahi Abbas, the party’s chairman in the state, said in a telephone interview on Sunday in Kano that the party would ensure transparency and accountability in the utilisation of the funds.
Mr Abbas expressed concerns over potential diversion of the funds, citing previous instances of misuse of palliatives.
He assured that the party would prevent a repeat of incidents where funds meant for people affected by flooding were diverted.
He said that a committee led by the Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibril, has been constituted to oversee the distribution of palliatives in the state.
The chairman reiterated the party’s commitment to prevent the diversion of funds meant for the people of Kano for political reasons.
He said the party would ensure the funds are used for the purpose it is meant for.
