PDP's Muhammad Nami Denounces Teacher's Harassment in Niger

Muhammad Nami, the Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Niger State, condemned the reported intimidation and harassment of a teacher by Isah Baba Bida, the Chairman of the Katcha Local Government Council. The teacher was allegedly suspended for wearing a cap featuring Nami's image.

Nami described this action as an abuse of public office and an attempt to undermine citizens' democratic rights. He emphasized that no public servant should be victimized for exercising their political freedom.

Nami also expressed concern about the poor condition of the school in Kafa village, Katcha LGA, highlighting dilapidated infrastructure and a lack of basic furniture. He criticized Governor Muhammad Umaru Bago for an 82 percent implementation deficit in the 2025 budget, where education received only 5.83 percent of the total budget, ranking Niger State 29th among Nigeria's 36 states.

Nami called for respect for public workers' political rights and reaffirmed his commitment to improving the education system.
