Former Sokoto State Governor and current Senator for Sokoto South, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, received a massive welcome in Sokoto on Friday from supporters across Sokoto, Kebbi, and Zamfara states. Thousands of party members, women’s groups, youth organisations, and loyalists lined the streets, singing solidarity songs and waving banners pledging to take power back from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.

Residents Slam FG, Gov Radda Over Collapsing Katsina Highway

People living along the Mararrabar Kankara–Dutsinma–Katsina highway are angry with the federal government, Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, and Minister of Works David Umahi for letting the road fall into terrible shape. The highway is one of the busiest in Katsina, linking many towns to the state capital. It used to be important for farmers, traders, and travellers, but now it is full of big potholes, broken edges, and damaged drains. Residents say things got worse after the government stopped repair work by a local company, Vipan Global Investment Resources. They believe the work stopped because of politics, as the contractor is said to be linked to the opposition. Now, with heavy rains, the road is almost impossible to use. Drivers take long detours, spend more on fuel, and face constant breakdowns. Accidents are common, and security problems in the area […]
