Constituency projects: Northern youths defend Senator Barau

The Northern Youths Council of Nigeria  (NYCN) has risen in defence of Senator Jibrin Barau of Kano North Senatorial District over alleged complicity in the execution of constituency projects.

This was even as the Northern youths said the Senator was even commended by the anti-graft body when they visited his constituency for assessment.

President, Northern Youths Council of Nigeria Comrade Isah Abubakar made the assertions at a world press conference in Kaduna on Friday.

He disclosed that the ICPC noted that the lawmaker adhere to the rules, saying, if it were otherwise, ICPC would have said so.

He said their attention was drawn to a laughable petition to the ICPC against Senator Jibrin Barau, the Representative of Kano North Senatorial District on issues bothering Constituency Projects and his children owning some companies.

“Ordinarily, we wouldn’t have bothered to join issues with them, but, for the recent events in Kano State that led to the looting and burning down of the Distinguished Senator’s Campaign Office, we have every fear that if we don’t rise in unison to protect one of the best that we have in the National Assembly, the financiers of this elements won’t hesitate to eliminate the Distinguished Senator. As the manifestation of their desperation all point to that.”

“We want you to note that the recent petition is copious of the one the faceless character tried to use our reputable organisation to get at the Distinguished Senator through the EFCC. We realise what they were up to and pulled the carpet off their feet.’

“But like the Devil who is roaming about seeking for whom to devour, the same elements have now resorted to synthesizing and releasing ICPC report, wherein they indicted the People’s Senator. A little fact check would have helped the medium that published the non-existing report thereby saving the public from needless drama.”

“Ignorance as the popular adage say is a serious disease. Otherwise, these characters would have known that the ICPC team that was dispatched to Kano to monitor Constituency Projects commended the Senator for being the Most Compliant in terms of execution of Constituency Projects.

‘If their phantom projects they are holding unto is anything worthy of attention, the all-seeing eyes of the ICPC would have beheld it, he said.
