2027: ADC Is a Political Scam, Says Datti Ahmed

Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party’s 2023 vice-presidential candidate and running mate to Peter Obi, has branded the African Democratic Congress (ADC) “a grand deception,” accusing it of offering refuge to former Buhari-era politicians ahead of the 2027 elections. Speaking in a Channels TV interview on Friday, Baba-Ahmed said Nigeria’s problems stem from a flawed leadership recruitment process that continually produces corrupt and self-serving leaders. He alleged that those who once surrounded former President Muhammadu Buhari were motivated purely by money and power. “From 2003 to 2015, it was all about campaign contributions. Without money, the ecosystem around him would collapse. When they eventually got power, they behaved like wolves,” he stated. On the recent defection of Buhari’s allies to the ADC, he was blunt: “The ADC is a deception. Those who destroyed Nigeria between 2015 and 2023 cannot […]

Sokoto Govt Launches Fresh Survey to Reassess Poverty Index

The Sokoto State Government has begun a fresh Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index (MPI) survey to reassess poverty levels and design new strategies to address the challenge. Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, Engr. Muhammad Zayyana, disclosed this in an interview, explaining that the 2022 National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) survey, which ranked Sokoto among the poorest states in Nigeria, had methodological gaps that warranted a fresh assessment. “The methodology is not too bad, but it is not sufficient enough to make any general findings. That is why, in conjunction with Redware, we decided to conduct our own MPI survey in Sokoto, using 2022 as a benchmark to see what has changed over time,” he said. According to him, the new survey has been conducted with Governor Ahmed Aliyu’s approval, and data analysis is currently ongoing. “From preliminary results, we have started […]
