Sokoto Lawmaker Critiques Tinubu's Development Record

Alhaji Abubakar Magaji, the Minority Leader of the Sokoto State House of Assembly and representative for Bodinga North Constituency under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), criticized President Bola Tinubu's administration for failing to deliver expected development in Nigeria during its three years in office. Speaking to journalists in Sokoto, Magaji expressed disappointment over the lack of significant progress, particularly in the northern region, despite the Federal Government's available resources.

He specifically mentioned the proposed Trans-Sahara road project linking Illela in Sokoto State to Badagry in Lagos as insufficient to address the region's needs. Furthermore, Magaji raised concerns about the deteriorating security situation in Sokoto State, noting that only Sokoto North and Sokoto South local government areas remain relatively safe, while the other 21 are affected by insecurity.

He revealed that he is currently hosting over 20 displaced persons in his home due to the crisis, contrasting the current situation with the previous administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.
