Sen. Sumaila Sparks Senate Showdown Over Tinubu’s Loans and Unpaid Contractors

A closed-door Senate session turned heated when Senator Kawu Sumaila of Kano South challenged the leadership over federal loans and stalled projects. Sumaila accused the Senate of approving massive loans for President Tinubu without ensuring contractors were paid. He warned that abandoned work sites could damage APC lawmakers’ re-election chances in 2027.

Sumaila refused to back down, denouncing attempts to silence him and saying he voiced the concerns of many senators.
