By BASHIR BELLO, Abuja Senator Abdullahi Aliyu Sabi representing Niger North at the 9th Assembly has been speaking on the recent crisis that  rendered some federal roads impassable in his state. Senator Sabi revealed that the origin of the impasse originated from Bida - Minna highway. The Senator revealed that the Bida- Minna way was in a very bad state which led to the state government undertaking the reconstruction of the route.

Reno Omokri has tackled President Buhari for wearing designer shoes to foreign meetings.

According to him, the President wears expensive designer shoes to ”beg for loans from countries whose Presidents wear $100 shoes.”He wrote “The issue is not the shoe you wear on your leg. The issue is where your leg takes you. Bambiala Buhari wears $640 @Gucci to go and beg for loans from countries whose Presidents wear $100 shoes.

How many jets does the Queen of The Netherlands, that he was begging for money, last week have? Beggar from top to bottom. Tueh! May Nigeria never be cursed with your like a again.” Home Politics Nation Crime Inside Story Opinion Entertainment Sports Contact © 2021 Observers Times  - (c) 2021  All Rights Reserved .
