ADC Candidate Dan’iya Demands Financial Transparency from Aliyu

Manir Muhammad Dan’iya, the African Democratic Congress governorship candidate in Sokoto State, has called on Governor Ahmed Aliyu to reveal the total revenue received by his administration and its expenditure from May 2023 to September 2026. This demand aims to allow residents to evaluate the governor's performance before the 2027 general elections.

Dan’iya's request follows Aliyu's statement that the All Progressives Congress would campaign based on the projects executed during his tenure. Dan’iya welcomed the idea of issue-based campaigns but insisted that the governor must first disclose financial records, including revenue from the Federation Account and internal generation.

He also requested a breakdown of funds allocated to the state's 23 local government areas during the specified period. Dan’iya emphasized that transparency regarding project costs and implementation would enable residents to assess the government's performance accurately.

He raised concerns about various issues affecting residents, including insecurity and public infrastructure, and called for independent scrutiny of projects with questioned costs or benefits.
