Your Vote Is Your Voice’ — Saraki Urges Youths to Seize Voter Registration Opportunity

Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has called on Nigerian youths to take full advantage of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), stressing that “your vote is your voice.” In a statement shared via his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, Saraki lamented the low voter turnout during the 2023 general elections despite a surge in youth registration. “In 2023, young Nigerians showed great promise, as nearly 40 per cent of registered voters were between 18 and 34, and over 93 million collected their PVCs. Yet only 26.7 per cent turned out to vote,” he noted. He urged young Nigerians to turn their numbers into electoral strength:“Your vote is your voice. Your ballot is your power. With it, you choose leaders, you shape policies, and you decide the direction of your community, your […]

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 […]
