Response to Senator Yahaya A. Abdullahi’s Supporters:
With due respect to Distinguished Senator Yahaya A. Abdullahi and his supporters, we, the people of Kebbi North, do not share the view that his years in office have been exceptional. While we acknowledge the praise you have offered for his service, our lived experience tells a different story.
Over more than a decade in the Senate, many pressing issues in Kebbi North: such as investment in ICT, job creation, education upgrades, infrastructure, agriculture, and health care have seen little meaningful progress. Promises to elevate our College of Education to a Federal University of Education remain unfulfilled. Unemployment and underdevelopment persist, and the hopes of many supporters have been dashed.
In 2023, despite the challenges he faced, we gave him another chance under the opposition because we believed in change. Unfortunately, the decision to return to the same party without consulting us felt like a betrayal of our trust. These actions have left many families, who made sacrifices for him, feeling abandoned.
Respectfully, Senator, we believe it is time to make way for new leadership fresh ideas, youthful energy, and a renewed commitment to the future of Kebbi North. True service is not about holding on to power, but about knowing when to step aside for the good of the people.
