Senator Shehu Buba, representing Bauchi South Senatorial District, has expressed optimism that the current economic hardship in Nigeria will soon come to an end.
He made the remark during the distribution of 21,000 bags of semovita to his constituents at the Jummaat Mosque in the Federal Low-Cost area of Bauchi.
The lawmaker expressed confidence that the hardship will soon come to an end, citing the progress made by the federal government under the leadership of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu in revamping the economy.
He further said the current economic hardship is being tackled from different dimension including the distribution of palliatives, an effort he has consistently undertaken, not only for his constituents but also for the people across the state.
According to him, “The federal government had to a large extent been able to stabilise the exchange rate of the national currency against others thereby improving imports and exports.”
He revealed that Senator Sama’ila Dahuwa, who represents Bauchi North Senatorial District, will soon join the All Progressives Congress (APC) following his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He also appealed to Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi, representing Bauchi Central, to leave the PDP and join the APC so they can collectively work toward the progress of the state and the nation.
Senator Buba also commended members of his constituency for their peaceful conduct, noting that their support has greatly contributed to the APC-led government’s efforts in delivering the dividends of democracy to the people.
He solicited for the continued cooperation of the people with the government at all levels stressing that “without peace there cannot be meaningful development.”

In his remarks, Abdulkadir Gyangyan, chairman of the distribution committee, explained that the exercise began with the allocation of 1,000 bags each to seven local government areas; Alkaleri, Bauchi, Bogoro, Dass, Kirfi, and Toro, while the remaining 13 LGAs will receive 500 bags each.
He added that the rest will be shared among party officials at the zonal and state levels, political organisations, as well as selected individuals and associations.
Gyangyan, who also serves as the State Organising Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), commended Senator Buba for his consistent efforts in supporting his constituents, saying, “You have helped reduce hunger among our people.”
