In the futile attempt to justify its misgovernance and insensitivity to issues, the Zamfara State government, through the Secretary to the State Government faulted the Zamfara Circle's conclusion that government has not been doing what it should do. With confessions and denials mingled, the SSG's effort to wrap up the mess with the blanket of rhetorics and manipulated scriptural gymnastics woefully failed to conceal the smearing excrement on the government. The excuse that we don't know the workings of the government is a self-defeating argument. Do we not have the right to know what is going on? Why is the government enshrouding its financial disbursements in cult-like secrecy? How are the trenches of bailout funds and the Paris Club refunds used? We read with keen interest how Borno State government released huge sum for the settlement of arrears and leave grants while other governors are making consultations with relevant stakeholders on how to spend the money.
Here in Zamfara, the deepening silence as usual is an ominous indication that the details are not forthcoming and the money are metamorphosing into high flying invisible birds.
