  • Hajiya Fatima Aliyu Aminu Garu is being criticized for distributing sugarcane sticks as empowerment, with the PRP calling for meaningful initiatives
  • The Peoples Redemption Party urges Hon. Aliyu Garu to account for his actions and focus on tangible benefits for constituents

Hajiya Fatima Aliyu Aminu Garu, the wife of Hon. Aliyu Aminu Garu, who represents Bauchi Federal Constituency, has faced criticism for allegedly distributing sugarcane sticks to some youths as an empowerment initiative.

The Bauchi State Chapter of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) expressed disappointment over the initiative. In a statement, Abdulazeez Haruna, the State Secretary of the PRP, said, “This gesture falls short of the expected standard of representation for the good people of Bauchi Federal Constituency.”

The PRP emphasized that true representation should go beyond “tokenism” and selective empowerment programs, urging that the people of Bauchi deserve meaningful developmental initiatives that address their pressing needs.

The party further demanded that Hon. Aliyu Garu account for his actions in the National Assembly, asking for clarity on the bills he has sponsored and the concrete projects he has initiated to benefit the constituents.

He also called on the people of Bauchi Local Government Area to hold their representative accountable for his actions or lack thereof.
