Zamfara PDP chairman accuses Yerima of recklessness
From Chris Garba, Abuja
CHAIRMAN of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State, Alhaji Samaila Garkuwa, has accused Governor Ahmed Sani Yerima of recklessness and turning government's business into a huge joke, forgetting the tenets of the Sharia system.
In a statement by the chairman made available to reporters in Abuja on Wednesday, Garkuwa alleged that the governor obtained a domestic loan of N2 billion in addition to spending N1 million and donating 63 cars to musicians from Niger Republic
who came to play at the inauguration of the women's wing of his 2007 presidential campaign organisation on January 14, 2006.
He said that Sharia forbade such public frolicking, as the law banned such immoral activities, including drumming and singing, adding that several Ulamas had condemned this wanton depravity, with one saying that "what is happening in the state now is an insult to both Islam and Moslems the world over".
"This is worrisome because
Governor Ahmed Sani has always claimed that the introduction and implementation of Sharia, which is not selective, has been his greatest achievement within the last seven years. It will take a lot to undo this bad example that Yerima and his family has set yet again", the statement said.
The chairman further alleged that during the inauguration, the governor's wife, wives and children of state commissioners, legislators, permanent secretaries, special advisers, local council chairmen and tradition rulers present, lost all decorum and danced until they forgot to say their Zuhr prayer on time.
"And the First Lady, Dr. Karima, joined in the public in merry-making to the extent that she and others were spraying the musicians with top denominations of the naira", the statement went on.
Garkuwa said that in obedience to the Sharia tenets, the party was demanding that those who participated in that merriment be publicly reprimanded, while the governor should account for the N2 billion he obtained for the state because just after he got that loan, he intensified his 2007 presidential campaign.
"Lastly, Governor Sani should stop making Zamfara State a laughing stock. It is indecent for at least 63 cars to be given out to musicians at a single party", the statement said.
