The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) in Bauchi State on Thursday berated a member of the House of Representatives, Aliyu Aminu Garu, for poor representation in the Green Chamber.
In a statement by its Secretary in the state, Abdulaziz Haruna, the party lamented that the lawmaker who is representing Bauchi Federal Constituency in the lower legislative chamber has been distributing sugarcane sticks to youths as empowerment initiative.
He said: “A viral picture has surfaced showing Hajiya Fatima Aliyu Aminu Garu, the wife of Hon. Aliyu Aminu Garu, Member Representing Bauchi Federal Constituency, allegedly distributing sugarcane sticks to some youths as an empowerment initiative.”
“This gesture falls short of the expected standard of representation for the good people of Bauchi Federal Constituency.”
“As a party, we believe that genuine representation goes beyond mere tokenism and selective empowerment programs.

“The people of Bauchi Local Government Area/Federal Constituency deserve more than just meagre handouts and superficial gestures. They deserve meaningful developmental initiatives that address their pressing needs and concerns.
“We are calling on Hon. Aliyu Garu to account for his actions and inactions in the National Assembly. Specifically, we demand to know what tangible developmental initiatives he has brought to the people of Bauchi Local Government Area since his election.”
” How many bills has he sponsored that have positively impacted the lives of the people? What concrete projects has he initiated or supported to improve the welfare and livelihoods of the constituents?”
” We urge Hon. Aliyu Garu to demonstrate his commitment to serving the people by working towards tangible benefits that transcend mere tokenism and handouts.
“We also call on the people of Bauchi Local Government Area/Federal Constituency to hold their representative accountable for his actions or lack thereof. It is time for a change in representation that truly reflects the aspirations and needs of our constituents.”
