Blurbs by Sadiq

As someone who grew up in a family full of people in active politics, born and raised by a Politician who is very good at the game. Definitely, you must learn something about what and how the game is played. I am priviledged to be the son of a Politician who was elected as the first senator to represent Katsina Central Senatorial Zone under the platform of SDP (SOcial Democratic Party) in the 1992 General Elections. When General Abdulsalami Abubakar, GCFR (rtd) succeeded Late General Sani Abacha. My Dad and his political associates joined the Peoples Democratic Party and became the Majority Party in the Senate and House of Representatives, Senator Ibrahim A.

If it can be replicated in all the 36 states and the FCT, We can embark on life changing project in our host communities with millions of Naira going into the NYSC FOUNDATION to execute a Project in form of CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. Let me not bothe...
