“DON’T LOSE YOUR ROOTS!”: Barau Issues Urgent, Passionate Plea To Hausa Youth In Ghana

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has challenged Abdul’aziz Yari, the Director-General of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign, to account for how citizens have benefited from the ₦15.8 trillion generated through the removal of fuel subsidy and foreign exchange reforms.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a statement released by National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi, the party pointed out that between June 2023 and December 2025, these reforms pumped roughly ₦15.8 trillion into the Federation—split into ₦5.4 trillion for the Federal Government, ₦5.4 trillion for state governments, and ₦3.9 trillion for local councils. Despite these monumental figures and FAAC disbursements soaring to a cumulative ₦47.25 trillion across that three-year window, the ADC argued that ordinary citizens are still buckling under crushing living, food, and transport costs.

The opposition party criticized the ruling administration for boasting about multi-trillion-naira windfalls while households struggle to afford daily meals, noting that monthly FAAC allocations have surged past ₦2 trillion from under ₦1 trillion prior to the subsidy removal. Furthermore, the ADC questioned why roughly 20 states still felt the need to pile on ₦458 billion in new loans during 2025 despite the massive cash influx. Concluding its stance, the party demanded that Senator Yari and the APC prove the tangible results of these funds—specifically pointing to physical infrastructure like schools, hospitals, roads, and mass transit—before expecting Nigerians to grant them another four years in power.

The African Action Congress (AAC) has pushed back against the decision to merely suspend the prosecution of its 2027 presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, until after the upcoming election, insisting instead that the charges be completely dropped.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a statement signed by National Publicity Secretary Rex I. Elanu and reported by Naija News, the party criticized the legal validity of leaving a criminal trial hanging indefinitely, pointing out that Nigerian criminal procedure doesn’t allow for cases to simply be put on hold.
