Leader of Reformed Peoples Democratic Party in Adamawa State, Umar Ardo, has condemned appointment of 65 special advisers and assistants by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri.
The Scope, an Adamawa State-owned weekly newspaper, carried an advertorial Sunday, indicating that Governor Fintiri had appointed 34 special advisers as well as 31 senior special assistants and special assistants, bringing to 65 the number of such political appointees made by the governor. He stated, “I just sympathize with the poor masses of Adamawa State… If you go through the list, you will see it is virtually the same group of people who always depend on the state treasury for their survival that have now been brought back to come and continue what they know best – take from the state treasury without adding any value to the state!”
“When all governments across the globe are reducing sizes and profligacy; at a time when patriotic governments are sacrificing their salaries and allowances; this is the time Adamawa State government is making additional 65 political appointments in the state,” he said.
