“God has mercy on my Murganians because we are not enjoying the dividends of democracy, No portable water to drink no one to repair the hand pump boreholes, in the recent employment of teachers no even one person to be employed our schools there is no repairment our clinic no medicine.

“This town is big with so many people. The worst part of it is this. Look at this shameful thing that people are sharing in the name of palliative God have mercy on us bring and give us a savior in this community to deliver us from this great disaster.”.

Another concerned citizen of the community, Mr. Panam David Muzong blamed the Chairman and said that the Governor of Adamawa State has given him more than what they are getting but he decided to share a spoon full to each household.
