A leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State MustaphaAdamu Ubaidullahi has expressed concern over the alleged inaccessibility of the House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas.

He made the claim during an interactive session with newsmen in Zaria yesterday, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). Ubaidullahi said the Speaker’s continued disconnect with his constituents at this crucial time will negatively impact the APC’s performance in the 2027 general election in Zone I.

He said: “The Speaker represents the North West in the national political equation; however, the region has regressed economically under his watch.

“Currently, key institutions in Zaria, such as the Depot Nigerian Army and the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, were split instead of being upgraded, which the community views as a serious disservice to the region.

“Farming, one of the region’s major economic activities, has slumped and become unprofitable, yet the Speaker has done nothing to revamp it.” Ubaidullahi said the region expected Abbas, as the North West’s representative, to champion robust legislation and lobby for policies to revive moribund industries.
