Taraba Senator Jimkuta Denies N500m Empowerment Allegation
Senator Jimkuta, representing the Taraba South senatorial district, has denied allegations of misappropriating N500 million intended for women empowerment. The accusations were made by Dr. Jessy Ashimate, a senatorial candidate from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In response, Jimkuta's campaign director, Garleya Suntai, stated that the senator had never received such funds and urged the people of Taraba to disregard the claims as unfounded. Suntai criticized Ashimate for failing to provide evidence for his allegations, questioning the source of the information and the timeline of the supposed funds.
He asserted that Jimkuta has positively impacted the lives of constituents, having distributed empowerment worth over N3 billion. Additionally, Suntai announced that the senator would soon initiate another employment program, expected to be the largest to date.
