“The choice to get the outlandish vehicles for the top notch customary rulers while beneficiaries are biting the dust of appetite, fighting to pay their youngsters school expenses is a gross harshness of the public authority toward the average person whose annuity and tip is their right.
“Allow me to let you know the overall view of individuals over this matter is that the public authority is attempting to pay off them to pipe them low on the grounds that the public authority has dismissed and caused them a ton of difficulty.
“In another manner, the public authority is attempting to relax their stand. There is an arrangement which everyone is aware of lessening their area by making new Chiefdoms to balkanize the current ones. Normally, they wouldn’t need that to occur. So to me, he gave them these vehicles to get delicate landing which many named to be a pay off.
“How would you give somebody a vehicle and don’t have the assets to keep up with it? The expectation is certainly not a decent one. On the off chance that the public authority means well to help them, they would have plunked down with them and discovered their concerns. I’m certain they will let him know things that trouble them that are far superior to the vehicles he gave.”
In response to the assertion, the Emir, Barkindo, in an assertion through the emirate secretary, Khalil Kawu, said Mustapha has been dismissed.

“The introduction of the vehicles by the Fintiri organization comes after quite a while when the foundation profited from such excellent signal and asked why that has turned into an issue to individuals when they are relied upon to help the public authority towards advancing its benevolent harmony building drive across the state.”
