ADC Candidate Talba Aims to Replace Ahmad Lawan

Talba, the ADC candidate, announced his intention to contest for the Yobe North senatorial seat, aiming to unseat the current representative, Ahmad Lawan. Speaking at the inauguration of the party’s Unified Campaign Council and the commissioning of its new state secretariat in Damaturu, Talba revealed that he was persuaded to run by constituents seeking change after years of Lawan's representation.

He emphasized the need for fresh ideas to tackle challenges such as poverty, unemployment, and inadequate infrastructure in the district. Talba committed to prioritizing economic development, agriculture, and infrastructure if elected, including plans to support farmers and revive the Nguru-Kano railway to enhance agricultural productivity.

He also highlighted the need for improved healthcare facilities to address kidney-related health issues affecting residents in Gashua and Nguru. Talba stated his motivation for entering politics was to serve the community rather than for personal gain.
