Buhari Not Favouring North, My 5 Graduate Children Are Jobless – Senator Bala Adamu Explodes

A former Secretary to the Taraba State Government, Senator Abdulahi Bala Adamu, Friday, dismissed the belief that northerners were the ones enjoying President Muhammadu Buhari because he is from the region.

He lamented that despite being an elite, five of his children, even withtheir university degrees, don’t have jobs.

Adamu, who was a member of the 4th Senate, 1999 to 2003, insisted the country’s economic challenges affected all Nigerians.

He spoke in Lagos Friday at the 2017 National Conference of the Public Administration and Management Development Institute (PAMDI)themed ‘Re-engineering the Nigeria state: Challenges and prospects.’

On restructuring, Adamu observed that since individuals and groups had different views on the issue, aconsensus must be reached.

Adam said: “The idea of existing federal structure and the clamour for restructuring that we are inundated with cannot be wished away.

“This perception of domination or injustice, I think, is based on a false premise.

“As I stand before you, I had the privilege of getting free education from primary, secondary, university and even post-graduate degree qualifications all paid for by the state.

“I had the privilege of serving my state at the highest level as secretary to government and head of the civil service.

“I had the privilege of being elected to the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. But today, I have at least five graduates, my own children, that can’t secure a job.

“And if you say because a northerner is President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, what has it impacted on me and my family?

“I believe we need to create a consensus about how to move this country forward.”

In attendance were Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, legal luminary, Femi Falana (SAN) who delivered the keynote address and Dr. Paul Ananaba (SAN).

The two SAN were conferred with Distinguished Professional Service and Fellowship Award.

Please let this message reach Adamu or what is his name. You are a fool, idiot and stupid. If u cant employ your children in your office, local and state govt is there. The money you earn as a senator is more than enough for u to start a business for them. Farming in you state and constituency. What s stupid thing are u even talking about, Let them go and face interview and see if they can pass aptitude text then u give them job. However ask brother Daniel Melaye how he they secure job if u too can help him through bribery. Or else you should go and sit down at home and let you eldest kid become the senator like that of pacified dancer from Osun state Ademola Adeleke. Then you can sit at home and spend money why your kid is workig as a senator. Infact you are only sleeping in d chamber doing nothing with no bill..   barao

Huhu Senator.This Time You Goofed In Your Defence Of PMB.This Current Administration Is For The North Only.Using The Word 'favouring' Is An Euphemism.And If Your Children Are All Jobless As You Claimed; Then Serious Questions Should Be Asked About The Source Of Your Wealth Because Some Fathers These Days Sacrifice Their Children's Destinies To Witch Doctors For Money Rituals.
