Sirika Village and Hadi Sirika

A social media user, Sani Mannir has took to his Facebook page to asked Senator Hadi Sirika, who is the current Minister of State for Aviation to provide a source of drinkable water for his people in Sirika Village, Katsina State.

His post on the Facebook read thus:

"I have been flying the Katsina to Daura roads in the last 45 years but I have never known where Sirika is till last two weeks when my car broke down on my way to Daura.
“The car stopped at a village between Shargalle and Kayawa along Katsina /Daura roads. While waiting for a mechanic to come, I decided to know the name of the place. 

So I asked a passer-by and he told me this is Sirika. I couldn't believe my eyes because I expected to see a very big and organized village. I went further to ask the if he knows Min Hadi Sirika he said yes and even showed me a mud house belonging to an elder brother of the Minister who is the village head. I asked again for the Minister's house and the person told he doesn't have a house in Sirika. His house is at Shargalle, which happens to be a larger village. 

“It was then that a bare footed boy pushing a wheel barrow containing jerry Cans of water came our way. I asked the boy where he fetched the water from? He mentioned a place which I can not remember but said it is about 3-4 km away. 

“It was then that I decided to do this post in order to call on the Minister to come to the aid of his people by sinking a bore hole for them. Mr Minister please give your people life by giving them water. Let them know that their son is a Minster."
