No matter what, @Ilhan steps up and works to make people's lives better. She is what makes this country great: a bold, selfless public servant—something Trump could never be.
What's 'garbage' is Trump's vile racism. It won't work. I'm always proud to stand with my sister.
Today, we commissioned the 14.4km Buzulega–Lukuwa–Yargada–Malikawa rural road project, valued at ₦4.16 billion, under the RAAMP initiative — a strategic link connecting Gwadabawa, Kware, and Wurno LGAs to enhance rural accessibility, trade, and agricultural productivity.
