Adamu Garba, a former presidential hopeful under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has officially stepped back from active political engagements to direct his full energy toward technology.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Shared via a statement on his official X profile, Garba explained that the choice came after deep reflection on the growing demands of his private sector obligations. He noted that his duties as the Executive Chairman and Chief Platform Architect of IPI Group Limited and its subsidiaries require uncompromised technical depth and personal oversight—commitments that cannot successfully coexist with heavy political involvement.
