PRP opposes Bauchi’s proposed N298 billion loan

The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) in Bauchi State opposes a proposed N298.15 billion loan, warning it would add to the state’s existing N441.69 billion debt ahead of the 2027 change of government. In a statement signed by state secretary Abubakar Sani, the party urged Governor Bala Mohammed to halt the borrowing and explain how previous loans were spent. The PRP also accused some traditional rulers of backing the ruling APM and restricting opposition activities, while commending those who remained neutral. It criticized court cases involving the party and its governorship candidate, Senator Shehu Buba Umar, and said it remained focused on the 2027 election.
