Kano Politician Accuses FG of South West Favoritism in ₦1 Trillion Project Allocation
Former aide to Kano Governor Umar Ganduje, Salihu Yakasai, accused the Federal Government of favoring the South West region in the allocation of a ₦1 trillion project approved by the Federal Executive Council. Yakasai highlighted the breakdown of project allocations among the six geopolitical zones, with the South West receiving the largest share.
This accusation comes amidst growing complaints of alleged concentration of key projects in the South West, particularly under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The controversy raises questions about fair allocation and transparency in project distribution.
