In an open letter signed by its Chairman, Comrade Isah Nasiru, the association alleged that contrary to the claim of the council Chairman “information emanating from the public indicates that the whole market was sold to the contractor”.

“Sir, we want you to use your good office to call the attention of the Chairman, Hon. James Thomas to verify the authenticity of the purported agreement. 

“Ado youths are angry and your action will definitely douse down their grievances.
We are appealing to the state government under the able leadership of His Excellency Engineer Abdullahi A Sule to as a matter of urgency to take over the reconstruction and remodeling of the Ado Market, because we are not longer comfortable with the public private partnership PPP agreement.

“May Almighty God continue to guide and protect you against the machinations of your foes,” the letter issued on Saturday morning reads further. 

Efforts to reach the Council Chairman for comment proved abortive at press time. An official of the council however appealed for calm and assured that the project was in the best interest of the area.
