The Emir of Daura, Dr. Umar Faruq
Umar has declared that the people from the hometown of President Muhammadu
Buhari are hungry and not getting enough from the Federal Government.
Umar stated this when he received
the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Audu Ogbeh at his Daura
palace, on Monday.
He also urged Ministers appointed
by Buhari to reciprocate the gesture by coming to the aid of the people of his
constituents through developmental projects and farm inputs.
The Emir noted that Buhari’s
Ministers were not doing enough to assist his hometown, Daura with viable
projects.
He said, “Buhari by his nature
will not influence the siting of any projects in Daura. But his Ministers who
benefitted from his appointment should reciprocate by bringing developmental
projects to Daura, his birthplace.
“It is a call to duty for the
Ministers to make provision in their Ministry’s budget of ensuring that Daura
benefitted immensely from Buhari administration. “If the Ministers failed to
site any projects to Daura, they have betrayed the President and people of
Daura.
“Like the Rice production in
Kebbi State. Katsina has prospects in rice production and irrigation farming.
“Katsina has dams and irrigation
sites like Sabke, Jibia, Zobe, Daberan, Mai Ruwa dams and if utilized and
reciprocated has potentials of feeding the state and it’s neighbours.
“I urge you to go back, look
inwards and search for what, how you can assist people of Daura. Daura is faced
with the absence of projects for its development and its people are hungry and
need federal government assistance.”
