Zamfara State Governor, Mr Dauda Lawal, yesterday, made a serious allegation against the President Bola Tinubu-led federal government, alleging it adopted a selective political affiliation approach in the distribution of palliative funds to states of the federation.
Lawal said Zamfara State was denied the privilege of partaking in the N500 billion palliative because he was not a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), as the Tinubu government deliberately excluded opposition-led states.
He said Zamfara had not received any federal palliative funds since the removal of fuel subsidy because of his membership of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
