The suspension of the campaign by the governor followed attacks in three villages in Gandi district, Rabah local government area of Sokoto by hoodlums suspected to be a spill-over of the armed bandits terrorising the state.

Also, many homes and business buildings were destroyed by the bandits who stormed the villages on Sunday, January 13.

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
