Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has alleged that some politicians in the state masterminded the vandalization of public and private warehouses by hoodlums on Sunday.
The Governor made the allegation in a statewide broadcast however admitted that people are going through hard times.
“Preliminary findings from the investigations suggest that besides the purported claim to the economic crunch which is propelled by the innate trait of criminality, is the inducement of some lazy politicians in our midst.
“There are some of us who contested and lost elections and feel that the only way to play their bitter politics is to distract us by inducing trouble that would sap our energy.
“We shall deal decisively with anyone who aided and abetted this callous slide into anarchy,” Fintiri said.
“Admittedly, we are passing through tough times. But this isn’t restricted only to Adamawa State and in Adamawa State, it isn’t restricted to the metropolitan side of Jimeta and Yola alone. This shameful act is being perpetrated in only these locations points to the fact that so much work is required to fix the social disarticulation in our society.
Fintiri called on parents to wake up to their responsibilities and noted that the next target will be either our homes or business premises.
“We must collectively, cooperate to deal with these hoodlums who have found it convenient to break into our warehouses and loot at their convenience.
If we don’t do this today, chances are that their next destination would be our homes and businesses.
He said the government will put measures to cushion the effect of the hardship on all, but it has to be done holistically.
“As a responsible Government, we are sensitive to the harsh economic realities and are putting down measures to cushion the effect of the hardship on all of us. But this has to be done holistically in a manner that would carry every citizen along. It is our fervent wish that the palliatives reach every household in the State, “Fintiri said.
