Whenever real progress is being made—whenever leaders roll up their sleeves to serve the people—there are always those who cannot stand to see it happen&period; They resort to propaganda—loud&comma; misleading&comma; and divisive&period; Sadly&comma; this has become the favoured tool of the opposition against the government of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf &lpar;AKY&rpar;&period;<br &sol;>&NewLine;Instead of offering constructive criticism&comma;

They want citizens distracted&comma; confused&comma; and doubtful—because that is the only way they can remain relevant&period;<br &sol;>&NewLine;But let us be honest&colon; who truly benefits from propaganda&quest; Certainly not the ordinary Kano indigenes trying to put food on the table&comma; send children to school&comma; or get medical care when sick&period; Propaganda benefits only a small circle of political actors desperate to regain power&comma;

Now&comma; with new roads and drainage works opening up his area&comma; his business is thriving&period; That is the kind of development propaganda cannot hide&period;<br &sol;>&NewLine;And what about Aisha&comma;
