In a candid address to the press, Engineer Salisu Magaji, the Chairman of the Amalgamated APC Support Group, provided insights into the achievements and challenges faced by President Timubu during his initial hundred days in office.

In a closing remark, Chairman Magaji used a local proverb to convey the notion that meaningful progress takes time, stating, “You cannot build a room overnight.” This sentiment echoed the understanding that addressing complex national issues, including economic challenges and security, requires patience, dedication, and a concerted effort from all stakeholders.
As President Timubu’s tenure progresses, the nation will be watching closely to see how these issues are addressed and the impact they will have on Nigeria’s future

NNPP Crisis: Assembly Members Deny Factional Differences
By Salisu Baso
As the crisis erupted within Kano’s ruling party NNPP, with some members calling for the governor to stand independently, the Kano State House of Assembly has denied knowledge of any of its members being involved in the rifts.
The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Lawan Hussain, representing Dala Constituency, revealed this to newsmen in an interview with journalists over the publication of an online newspaper, Daily Nigeria, stating that some members of the NNPP in the House have joined the factional crisis.
He described the news as a fabricated and mischievous story from unpatriotic elements planning to destroy the peace reigning within the party. He said that as far as the members of the House are concerned, there are no conflicts between the governor and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The Majority Leader therefore assured the party parliament members of their solid support for the leader of the Kwankwasiyya and state governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, adding that the governor considers Senator Kwankwaso his mentor.
On the issue of some party members calling for the governor to be independent (Tsaya da Kafar Ka), Hon. Dala said the governor is operating independently without interference from any person. He therefore accused some opposition politicians from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, of sponsoring unpatriotic people to ignite a crisis in the state with a view to disrupting the government’s development initiatives.
