Journalism teacher lambasts SMA for underperformance

A journalism teacher in the Federal Polytechnic Bida, Mr. Abdulkadir Abdullahi Yahaya has lambasted the House of Representatives member representing Bida/Gbako/Katcha federal constituency, Honourable Saidu Musa Abdul over what he described as the lawmaker's gross underperformance in office.

Yahaya who revealed this in a critical commentary on Facebook today observed that the lawmaker popularly known as SMA had yet to deliver on any of his campaign promises 10 months after his inauguration.

He argued that SMA's gross underperformance and insensitivity to the plight of his constituents could no longer be tolerated, more so as his colleagues in other parts of the country had since hit the ground running.

Yahaya who was former secretary and member of different campaign committees constituted by the lawmaker prior to election, maintained that the lawmaker was fond of engaging in wild goose chase while abandoning more realistic and practical initiatives that would benefit the mass of his constituents.

"As for the bill on establishment of a new university, I don't see anything worth celebrating in it other than an achievement that is based on imagination rather than reality.

My judgment is that he only brought them to the public fora so as to score cheap political points even though he knew too well that it will hardly scale through the executive quarters, and believing that many unsuspecting people in our constituency will be easily hoodwinked to see him as a hardworking representative," he explained.

Yahaya however acknowledged the lawmaker's effort in attracting a federal government intervention on construction of a block of 8 classrooms at Bagudu Waziri Primary School in Bida, and enjoined him to do more.
